Time 30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
One 6-ounce bag sugar snap peas
1 heaping tablespoon stone-ground mustard
1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, grated or pressed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1/2 small head fennel, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Combine the mustard, soy sauce and garlic in a large mixing bowl for the base of the dressing. Slowly pour the olive oil into the bowl, whisking constantly, to emulsify into a thick dressing. Season with salt and pepper.

EASY MEDITERRANEAN BEAN SALAD



Easy Mediterranean Bean Salad image

Easy three bean salad recipe packed with Mediterranean flavors from fresh herbs, capers, and a zesty Dijon garlic vinaigrette. Instead of mushy canned green beans, use fresh steamed ones, or swap them out for another type of bean. I chose to use cannellini beans! After dressing the bean salad, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, so that the beans can absorb the zippy dressing.

HERBY RED, WHITE & GREEN BEAN SALAD



Herby Red, White & Green Bean Salad image

This is a mild, very lightly dressed bean salad that relies on fresh herbs for its flavor. While you could probably use whatever herbs you like, one thing I would not do is substitute dried for fresh. I like this as-is or over hot or cold pasta. My husband likes to mix tuna into his. I came up with this as I was out the door one day and couldn't be bothered to look up a recipe - since I only had 15 minutes or I'd be late for work, it literally takes only minutes to prepare. I used Kraft Light Done Right Zesty Italian in this. While you can eat this right away, it's much better after refrigerating for at least a few hours.

HERBED BEAN SALAD



Herbed Bean Salad image

The flavors in this simple salad get better as the beans marinate and soak up the dressing.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Time 15m

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 3/4 cups cooked cannellini beans
1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, and dill
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Soak onion in cold water, 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk Dijon and vinegar in a bowl. Slowly whisk in oil until combined. Drain onion and dry well. Stir into dressing along with beans and herbs; season with salt and pepper. Let sit 15 to 20 minutes or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 5 days. Serve as a side, over meat and fish, on toasted rustic bread, or mixed into greens.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh herbs whenever possible. If using dried herbs, use half the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Be sure to rinse and drain the beans thoroughly before using them. This will help to remove any excess starch and make the salad less likely to be mushy.
  • If you don't have any red onion on hand, you can use a white or yellow onion instead. Just be sure to slice it thinly so that it doesn't overpower the other flavors in the salad.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of vinegar and oil in the dressing to suit your taste. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.
  • This salad is a great make-ahead dish. Simply prepare it up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, just give it a quick stir.

Conclusion:

This herby three-bean salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for summer gatherings. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a healthy and refreshing salad, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
