Ingredients

2 cups (300 g) fresh or frozen green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup (75 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice
1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey or sugar (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Cook the Green Beans

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until tender but still crisp.

Drain the green beans and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.

Prepare the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and honey (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine the Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the cooked green beans and cherry tomatoes.

Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat.

Chill and Serve

Let the salad sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.
