This refreshing salad combines crisp green beans, tangy goat cheese, and a zesty lemon vinaigrette.
Ingredients
Salt and pepper - To taste
Honey - 1 teaspoon
Dijon mustard - 1 teaspoon
Extra virgin olive oil - 2 tablespoons
Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
Fresh basil - 1/4 cup, chopped
Red onion - 1/4 cup, thinly sliced
Cherry tomatoes - 1 cup, halved
Goat cheese - 4 ounces, crumbled
Green beans - 1 pound, trimmed
Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a large bowl, combine the green beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and fresh basil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Crumble the goat cheese over the top of the salad.
