I found this easy green bean salad with maple Dijon vinaigrette recipe on Culinary Cory and decided to make it tonight. I made the vinaigrette a few hours early to let the flavors mingle. This easy green bean salad is colorful, flavorful, and delicious! I loved, loved, LOVED the vinaigrette and will try using it with other vegetables. This green bean recipe paired nicely with pork chops, Duchess baked potatoes, and dinner rolls.

Green Bean Salad with Maple Dijon Vinaigrette

Ingredients:

1½ tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp cider vinegar
¾ tsp Dijon mustard
1 clove of garlic, minced
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
½ lb. fresh green beans
A handful of grape tomatoes, halved
2 tbsp slivered almonds

How to Make a Green Bean Salad with Maple Dijon Vinaigrette:

Combine the olive oil, maple syrup, cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper in a small jar, seal, and shake well. Set aside to let the flavors mingle.

Bring a large saucepan of well-salted water to a boil.

Add the green beans to the boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until fork-tender but still a bit crisp.

Drain. Plunge the green beans into a large bowl of ice-cold water for a minute.

Drain well, then place on paper towels to drain.

Place the dried green beans in a large bowl with the tomatoes and almonds.

Drizzle the well-shaken vinaigrette over the green beans, tomatoes, and almonds. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated. Taste and season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Serve immediately. Enjoy.
