Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans, washed, ends trimmed, and cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onions
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
Place the onions in a ceramic or heatproof glass dish.Combine the vinegar, sugar, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, boiling just long enough to dissolve the sugar, about 30 to 45 seconds. Pour the vinegar mixture over the onions and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Bring water to a boil in a medium-sized pan. Add the beans and cook (uncovered) until they are just tender, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and drain in a colander. Transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. When cooled, drain well and pat dry. Place the beans in a large bowl. Add the vinegar and onion mixture and toss to combine.
