When yellow beans are in season they are tender and mild in flavour. This tasty bean salad is lightly marinated in balsamic vinaigrette with orange pepper, red onion and flavoured with fresh basil. This healthy side compliments any meal.

Ingredients
1 lb. organic fresh yellow wax beans
1 organic orange pepper, thinly sliced
½ organic red onion, thinly sliced
For the marinate • 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil • 2 tsp. GF balsamic vinegar • ½ tsp. pure maple syrup • 1 garlic clove, minced • ½ tsp. sea salt • ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
½ cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
