Italian Marinated Green Bean Salad Recipes

ITALIAN MARINATED GREEN BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Trim the green beans, and slice any long ones in half, then drop them into the boiling water for just 2-3 minutes. Remove the pot from heat and drain the green beans in a colander in the sink. Rinse with cold water.
• While the green beans are cooking, thinly slice the red onion and drain the chickpeas. Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, rosemary, basil, and salt.
• Combine the green beans, red onion, chickpeas, and dressing in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
• Serve right away, or transfer the salad to an airtight container in the fridge to serve later. Enjoy!

MARINATED BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and add to the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and pat very dry. Add to a serving bowl along with the cannellini beans, chickpeas, tomatoes, sliced celery and leaves, red onion, peperoncini, olives and parsley.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, peperoncini brine, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Whisk in the olive oil to make a smooth dressing. Pour over the bean mixture and toss well. Season with salt if needed. This salad can be made a day ahead --- the green beans may discolor a bit because of the lemon juice but will taste even better with the longer marination time.
