A refreshing and tangy green bean salad perfect for a light and healthy side dish.
Steam the green beans and red bell pepper until crisp-tender.
Steaming preserves the vibrant color and nutrients of the vegetables.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, cider vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Whisking thoroughly ensures the dressing is well-emulsified.
Transfer the steamed vegetables to a serving bowl.
Let the vegetables cool slightly before adding the dressing to maintain their texture.
Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the vegetables.
Serve the salad immediately or chill before serving.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavors as they meld together.
