Instructions

  1. Step 1: Combine the dressing ingredients in a jar and shake well. Set aside, or refrigerate for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before using.

  2. Step 2: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans, bring the water back to a boil, and boil the beans for 60 seconds—no more.

  3. Step 3: Drain the beans and plunge them into ice-cold water, or run them under cold tap water, to stop them from cooking.

  4. Step 4: If making ahead, leave the beans in the colander to dry before transferring them to the fridge.

  5. Step 5: To serve, pile the beans on a plate and top with tomato and red onion. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with parsley, if using.

Notes

The lemon juice can be replaced with white wine vinegar. Adjust the olive oil to taste.
