Easy GREEN BEAN Recipe

GREEN BEANS RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (3 servings approx.)

For Blanching:
8 to 10 cups of boiling water
1 teaspoon salt

400g FRENCH Green Beans or VERY TENDER Green Beans
(French green beans (also called Haricots Verts) are slightly longer and skinnier than regular green beans. They are harvested earlier then regular green beans, so they are thought to be more tender and more flavorful.)
60g / 1/2 Cup Red Onion
55g / 1/2 Cup Toasted Walnut
1 to 2 Tablespoon Parsley - finely chopped

Salad Dressing:
2+1/2 Tablespoon Olive Oil (Organic cold pressed Olive Oil)
1 Tablespoon White Wine Vinegar
1/2 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
1 Teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1 Clove of Garlic - minced
1 Teaspoon Maple Syrup
Salt to taste (I have added 1/2 Teaspoon of Pink Himalayan Salt)
1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper

METHOD:

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add salt. Blanch the french green beans in salted boiling water for no longer than 2 to 3 minutes. Any longer in boiling water the beans will loose their texture and colour. We want the beans to be CRUNCHY and NOT MUSHY. It took me about 2 minutes.
