A delightful and colorful salad featuring fresh green beans, juicy tomatoes, and a tangy vinaigrette.
Steam the green beans until crisp-tender.
Steaming preserves the vibrant color and nutrients of the green beans.
Immediately transfer the steamed beans to a bowl of ice water to cool.
This step stops the cooking process and keeps the beans crisp.
Arrange the green beans on a serving platter.
Spread the beans evenly for an appealing presentation.
Slice the tomatoes and onions and arrange them around the green beans.
Use a sharp knife for clean and precise slices.
Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Whisk until the dressing is emulsified for a smooth consistency.
Drizzle the dressing over the vegetables evenly.
Ensure all vegetables are lightly coated for balanced flavor.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the salad cold and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh herbs for an extra touch of flavor.
