  • Prep Time 15 min
  • Total Time 30 min
  • Yield Serves 6

Ingredients

    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 2 small garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • 1 1/2 pounds haricots verts or other thin green beans, trimmed
    • 2 small red onions, quartered through root end (leaving root end attached)

Directions

  1. Heat grill to medium-low. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and prepare a large bowl of ice water. In another large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice; set aside.
  2. Cook green beans in boiling water until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer immediately to ice-water bath. Drain beans well, pat dry, and add to bowl with dressing. Set aside.
  3. Toss onion wedges with remaining tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill until lightly charred, 4 to 6 minutes per side. When cool, trim root end off, and thinly slice onions; add to bowl with green beans, and toss to combine.
