Ingredients
For the Salad
- 1 ½ pounds fresh green beans trimmed and halved
- 2 medium zucchini diced
- 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
- 6 green onions thinly sliced (optional)
For the Fresh Herb Dressing
- ½ cup fresh basil
- ¼ cup parsley
- ¼ cup lemon juice from about 2 lemons
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Place the green beans and zucchini in a large pot and lightly steam (for 10-15 minutes) or boil (for 5-7 minutes) until tender but still somewhat firm. Remove from heat, strain and rinse the vegetables with ice cold water, then set aside.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing by combining all of the ingredients in a food processor and blending until the herbs are finely chopped.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, corn, tomatoes and green onion. Add the blanched green beans and zucchini, then pour the dressing on top. Stir together until everything is well-coated. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
