Ingredients
Before we jump into the cooking process, here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious salad:
- 2 cups Romano beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s get to the instructions:
- Start by boiling a pot of salted water. Once it’s boiling, add the Romano beans and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
- Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. This helps retain their vibrant green color.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled Romano beans, diced red bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, and fresh parsley.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour this dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
- Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, then serve it up and enjoy!
