How to Make Green Bean And Onion Vinaigrette

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of green beans and cook until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Immediately drain the green beans and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain again thoroughly.
  3. While the beans are cooking, prepare the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Slowly whisk in 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil until the vinaigrette emulsifies.
  5. Thinly slice 1/2 a red onion into rings.
  6. Place the cooled green beans in a large serving bowl.
  7. Gently toss the green beans with the vinaigrette.
  8. Garnish with the red onion rings and serve immediately, chilled, or at room temperature.
