Green Bean Salad combines crisp green beans with macadamia nuts, lemon, and a vibrant dressing of garlic, fresh ginger, olive oil, and honey. This delightful dish is perfect as a standalone or served over salad leaves, offering a refreshing crunch with a hint of zesty sweetness.
Spread the macadamia nuts on the tray and toast in the oven until golden, approx. 5-7 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Once cool, roughly chop.
Meanwhile, bring a pan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans and cook for 4-6 minutes (depending on their thickness). Drain in a colander and set aside.
Halve the lemon segments so you have smaller pieces. Add them to a small bowl with the crushed garlic and grated ginger.
Stir in the olive oil and honey.
If adding some salad leaves, spread them out on a serving platter.
Add the green beans and drizzle the lemony garlic/ginger mixture all over. Season with salt and pepper.
