Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them in half for easier consumption. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the green beans and blanch for 2-3 minutes until they become bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
- Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain the green beans and set them aside.
- While the green beans are cooling, thinly slice the scallions. Set them aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the vinegar and sugar. Stir well until the sugar has dissolved completely.
- Add the freshly chopped dill to the mixture, stirring to combine.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans and sliced scallions.
- Pour the dill dressing over the green beans and scallions. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- For best flavor, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
Tips:
- Use fresh green beans for the best texture and flavor.
- Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to retain their bright green color and crisp-tender texture.
- Adjust the amount of vinegar and sugar to taste preference.
- Fresh dill can be substituted with dried dill, but use sparingly as dried herbs are more concentrated.
