Green Bean & Peach Salad

By mirelsonp

Summer peaches pair remarkably well with sweet caramelized onions and crisp green beans in this salad.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 pound firm-ripe yellow peaches, sliced
• 1 tablespoon oregano, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 pounds green beans, trimmed

Preparation

Step 1

Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook until slightly caramelized, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in peaches and oregano; cook until peaches are soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk remaining oil with vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; add onion and peaches and set aside.

Bring a 6-quart saucepan of salted water to a boil; add beans and cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water until chilled. Drain and add to peach mixture; toss to combine.
