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.

Ingredients
- Green beans
- 1 pound, trimmed
- Carrot
- 1 large, julienned or grated
- Red bell pepper

- Apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup
- Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons
- Honey
- 2 tablespoons

Instructions
- 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.

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans, julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and red onion.

- Drizzle the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently until all vegetables are evenly coated.

Tips
- For added crunch, try incorporating sliced radishes or chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds.
- Feel free to swap out the red bell pepper for other colors or even add some sliced cherry tomatoes for a twist.
- This slaw can be a great topping for grilled meats or sandwiches, adding a refreshing element to your meals.
