Cooking Tips

  • Balancing Flavours: The sharpness of the red wine vinegar complements the richness of the olive oil, creating a balanced dressing. Adjust the quantities to suit your taste preferences.
  • Cooking Green Beans: To keep the green beans vibrant and crisp, cook them just until they are tender but still have a bit of crunch.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare this salad in advance to allow the flavours to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste when served.
