Cold Green Bean Salad
From Barbara/ allrecipes
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds fresh green or bush beans, trimmed
½ cup balsamic vinegar
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot with lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add beans and cook, uncovered, until soft but still firm to the bite, 7 to 10 minutes. Check often so beans don't overcook.
Combine vinegar, olive oil, onion, garlic, parsley, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Drain cooked green beans and mix with dressing in the bowl while still warm. Allow to marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
