Bright and vibrant, this Tangy Green Bean Slaw is a delightful combination of crisp green beans, crunchy carrots, and sweet bell peppers, all tossed in a zesty honey vinaigrette. Perfect for summer barbecues, picnics, or as a refreshing side dish to elevate any meal, this slaw not only tantalizes your taste buds but also adds a pop of color to your plate. Historically, slaws have roots in ancient Roman cuisine, where the idea of combining vegetables with vinegar and oil originated, making this dish a timeless classic with a modern twist.

Servings: 6

Ingredients

Green beans
1 pound, trimmed
Carrot
1 large, julienned or grated
Red bell pepper
1, thinly sliced
Red onion
1/2, thinly sliced
Apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup
Olive oil
3 tablespoons
Honey
2 tablespoons
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trimmed green beans and blanch for 2 minutes, until bright green and tender-crisp.
  2. Immediately drain the green beans and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans, julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and red onion.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create a dressing.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently until all vegetables are evenly coated.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld before serving. This dish can be made a day in advance for an even more developed flavor.
