Step by step

1. Mix dressing ingredients and set aside.
2. Wash green beans, cut off their edges, then cut them in half.
3. Boil water in a large pot. Add green beans and let them simmer over low heat for 3-4 minutes. Rinse with fresh cold water to retain their fresh green colour. Put in the serving bowl and set aside.
4. Empty bean cans in a large sieve. Rinse them with fresh water then add to the green beans.
5. Slice onion to thin half circles and add them with the chopped coriander to the mixed beans serving bowl.
6. Add dressing, mix gently, and let it cool in the fridge until it's serving time. You can prepare this salad up to one day in advance. Taste and adjust salt & pepper before serving.
