Green Bean Salad with Balsamic & Parmesan

Salad is any of a wide variety of dishes including: green salads; vegetable salads; long beans; salads of pasta, legumes, or grains; mixed salads incorporating meat, poultry, or seafood; and fruit salads. They often include vegetables and fruits.

Typically it’s served with a sunny side up egg (love how the yolk runs into the rice!) and a side of fresh cucumber and tomato (no dressing) to make a meal of it.

Description

Bean salad is a common cold salad composed of various cooked beans – green beans, yellow wax beans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans – and typically fresh raw onions, peppers, and/or other vegetables, tossed in a vinaigrette or vinegar and characteristically sweetened with sugar. It can also be prepared as a pickled dish.  Bean salad is a popular choice for home canning. Salads prepared with this method should be used within a year for best quality.

Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 4 cup Green Beans (cut to 2 to 3 inch long pieces)
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Basil (Chopped)
  • 3/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 dash Pepper
  • 1 dash Salt
  • 2 cup Red Onion or Shallot (Finely Chopped)
    • Optional Toppings
  • 1 cup Sliced Cucumber
  • 4 tbsp Crispy Fried Onion
  • Salted Peanuts
Instructions
  1. 1

    Soak chopped onions in water: Place the chopped onions in a small bowl of water. This will help take the edge off the onions. Let sit while you prepare the rest of the salad.

  2. 2

    Blanch the green beans: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (2 Tbsp salt for 2 quarts of water). Add the green beans to the water and blanch only for about 2 minutes or so, until the beans are just barely cooked through, but still crisp.

  3. 3

    Toss with red onion, balsamic, Parmesan: Place the green beans, red onion, and chopped basil in a large bowl. Sprinkle in the olive oil, toss to coat. Sprinkle in the balsamic and Parmesan cheese. Toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
