Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp green beans: Look for beans that are a deep green color and snap easily when you bend them.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the tough ends of the beans by snapping them off or using a sharp knife.
  • Blanch the green beans: This will help to preserve their color and crunch. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the green beans, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the beans in a colander and rinse them with cold water.
  • Roast the red peppers: This will bring out their sweetness and flavor. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the red peppers in half, remove the seeds, and brush them with olive oil. Roast the peppers for 20-25 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and tender.
  • Make the dressing: Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Assemble the salad: Combine the green beans, roasted red peppers, onion, and parsley in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served fresh.
