Description
A refreshing and crunchy green bean salad featuring the tangy flavor of sumac and the sweetness of shallots.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sumac
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup toasted almonds, chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let cool for about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, sumac, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled green beans and sliced shallots. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
- If using, sprinkle the toasted almonds and crumbled feta cheese on top before serving.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing.
- Substitute lemon juice for red wine vinegar for a brighter flavor.
