Not your typical green bean salad!

Green Bean Salad with Pickled Red Onions & Jalapeño Mustard Dressing is not your typical Green Bean Salad! The flavor of the pickled red onions, chives and the jalapeño mustard dressing mesh together so well with the green beans and tomatoes. Even the pickiest of eaters will love this!

These pickled red onions are incredible! My inspiration came from one of my favorite food bloggers, @loveandlemons. I decided to use them as a finishing touch for my green bean recipe. It's as simple as cutting the onions, heating the vinegar mixture, and placing all the ingredients in a mason jar. Just wait approximately 1 hour or overnight for the onions to become tender and turn a beautiful pink color. It's as simple as that!

The next step is to prepare your green beans. The batch of beans I used for this recipe were fresh from the Golden Earthworm Organic Farm CSA I belong to.
