Cold Green Bean Salad Recipe – How to Make Green Bean Salad | Blondelish
This simple cold green bean salad recipe is a refreshing main or side dish. All you need is a few fresh veggies, mozzarella cheese, and a delicious herby vinaigrette dressing, to make this fresh green bean and tomato salad in under 15 minutes. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ RECIPE BELOW ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Ingredients
▢1 1/2 lb fresh green beans
▢2 cups cherry tomatoes - halved
▢1 cup black olives - pitted, halved
▢1 medium red onion - thinly sliced
▢1/2 lb Italian salami - cut into strips
▢1 bunch parsley - chopped
▢8 oz mini mozzarella balls
Dressing:
▢1/4 cups olive oil
▢2 tbsp white vinegar
▢1 clove garlic - minced
▢1 tsp dry oregano
▢1 tsp fine salt
▢1/4 tsp ground pepper
Instructions
1. First, let's prepare the fresh green beans. Rinse them in a colander under cool running water. Trim off the stems and cut them in half.
2. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, carefully add your prepared beans into the pot. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the beans are crisp-tender and vibrant green.
3. Have a bowl with ice and water next to the pot. As soon as the beans are done cooking, transfer them into the ice bowl to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for a couple of minutes, then drain well.
4. Now let's make the dressing. In a small jar, add all the dressing ingredients and shake to emulsify.
5. To complete the salad, prep the remaining ingredients. Halve the cherry tomatoes and pitted olives. Slice the red onion and cut the Italian salami into thin strips. Finely chop the parsley.
6. Place all salad ingredients together into a large salad bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to combine.

Ingredient Swaps
Here are a few simple swaps if you don’t have all of the ingredients for this fresh green bean and tomato salad:
- You can swap the green beans for cauliflower or broccoli. Start by breaking the cauliflower or broccoli into florets, then blanch them just like you would do with the green beans.
- If you prefer, swap the black olives for green or kalamata olives.
- Feel free to substitute the mozzarella for a crumbled cheese, like feta or blue stilton.
- You can even replace the dressing with pesto sauce! I recommend adding extra lemon juice for punch.
Add-Ins
Here are some tasty ingredients to add to your salad to make it a more complete meal:
- Cooked pasta or cooked grains like quinoa or bulgur
- Crumbled cooked bacon
- Other vegetables, such as chopped cucumber or corn kernels, blanched asparagus or new potatoes
- Canned beans like chickpeas or black beans (drained and rinsed)
- Marinated artichokes, banana peppers, or roasted red peppers
- Sun-dried tomatoes
FAQs
What other dressings can be used for fresh green bean and tomato salad?
A pesto sauce would be great with green beans and tomatoes. Or try a maple dijon vinaigrette.
How should I cook green beans for salad?
Blanch the fresh beans in boiling water for just a couple of minutes. Then transfer them, using a slotted spoon, to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
How long should I boil green beans for salad?
I find that 1 to 2 minutes is enough to cook the beans, so they have a tender crunch. If you prefer them softer, then add a minute more to the cooking time.
How long to cook green beans to make them soft?
Boiling the beans for 3 to 4 minutes will make them soft, if you prefer.
How long to steam the green beans for salad?
If you’d like to steam the beans rather than boil them, cook for about 5-6 minutes. The steaming process will take a bit longer than boiling.
What to serve with fresh green bean tomato salad?
This is a great summertime side dish for any entree. Serve it alongside your favorite steak, baked salmon, or for a vegetarian meal, cauliflower steaks.
How to season green beans for salad?
You can season the cooking water by adding 1 tablespoon of salt. This will give them a salty flavor. Just like you would do with pasta.
Can you make ahead this cold green bean salad for meal prep?
This salad recipe is perfect for meal prep. In fact, it’s better the next day, as the flavors will blend more. Keep the dish well refrigerated in air-tight containers for up to 3 days.
How to make green bean salad with frozen beans?
To use frozen beans, place them into a large pot and add water just enough to cover. Heat the pot over medium-high heat until thawed and warmed through, this takes about 6-8 minutes. Drain the beans well before using, then proceed with the recipe as is.
