Calories: 490kcal
Ingredients
For the salad:
- 4 heaping cups (600 g) fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
- 2 cups (295 g) petite purple potatoes (or regular), washed and chopped
- 1 cup (150 g) frozen peas, thawed
- 1 (15-ounce/425-gram) can lima beans (butter beans), drained
- 1-2 cucumbers , peeled and sliced/spiralized
- ½ cup (10 g) fresh mint leaves
For the dressing:
- ⅓ cup (80 mL) olive oil
- 1½ teaspoons (7.5 mL) Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon (15 mL) pure maple syrup or agave
- 1 tablespoon (15 mL) lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (30 mL) apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon (1.5 g) kosher or fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon (0.6 g) freshly ground black pepper
For garnish:
- ½ cup (50 g) toasted almonds
- 2 tablespoons (20 g) chia seeds
Instructions
- First, prepare a large bowl with ice water and set aside. Blanch the green beans by bringing a medium pot of water to a boil, boil for 3 minutes, and then immediately scoop out the green beans with a strainer and place them into the ice water bath.
- Keep the water boiling after all the green beans are removed and add the potatoes. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water. If the peas are still frozen, add them to a microwave-safe bowl, cover them with water and microwave for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the potatoes, green beans, peas, lima beans, cucumber, and mint leaves and toss to combine.
- In a bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients and then pour over top of the salad. Toss. Season with more salt and pepper if needed, to taste.
- Right before serving, toss in the toasted almonds and chia seeds. Best if eaten fresh, but leftovers may be stored in the fridge and enjoyed within the next day or so.
Notes
To travel with this salad, take the salad in a covered bowl, the dressing in a covered jar, and the toasted almonds and chia seeds in a small container or plastic zipped bag.
