Warm Green Bean Salad

Normally, I buy fresh green beans and roast them at a high heat for a side dish for grilled steak. However, I wanted to try something a little different this time around, more along the lines of a warm salad. Blanching the green beans helps them retain their bright green color and crunchiness. The sweetness of the grape tomatoes and sauteed onion and garlic really offsets the tangy lemon juice in the dressing, too.

    I had some leftovers and didn’t feel like reheating them, and even cold, this green bean salad tastes really good!

    Actually, I didn’t add any sugar during the blanching process (I’m on a sugar-restricted diet), but that’s an interesting tip! I think if your green beans are fresh enough to begin with, they’ll stay plenty green after a few minutes in boiling water and then an ice bath.

    When you blanch the green bean, did you add sugar to do so? I knew sugar helps to retain its natural colour.
