Green Bean Salad with Peas, Chard and Dijon Tarragon Vinaigrette

A Summertime salad with the freshest market veggies. We’ve eaten this salad as a main course, but it can be a star side or fabulous starter. Green Bean Salad with Peas, Chard and Dijon Tarragon Vinaigrette is snappy and oh so fresh! vegan + gluten free

A bowl of Green Bean Salad with Peas, Chard and Dijon Tarragon Vinaigrette.

Rob and I headed to the mountains this past week. Not too far away. We’d been anticipating this for some time simply because it was needed, and after all, we were celebrating our anniversary.

How does 25 years go by so fast?  I try to remind myself time is relative, yet at the same time, 25 years makes me feel, um, dare I say, old?  I mean, I blinked and next thing I know, it’s been two and a half decades.

And because we were high school sweethearts, we’ve been together even longer. I feel like I’ve known Rob all my life. We’ve much to celebrate and reflect on.

Swiss Chard, purple onion, a lemon sliced in half, peas, green beans, fresh tarragon neatly laid on a table along with  red pepper flakes and olive oil in different cups.

Life is like that, isn’t it? Full of moments, events, and the day-to-day grind. But it’s all about how we spend our time, how we fill those moments, our contributions that bring joy or spending time being…

…still.

Listening to the wind blowing through the trees, a rushing creek, bird songs, a heart beat.

Reflecting on life, where we’ve been, memories made and shared and what we’ve learned along the way.

The highlight of our trip was spending time, immersed in nature. Stopping to gaze, breathe, listen, feel gratitude and admire old growth fir trees and swift moving creeks making their way through granite gorges. Embraced by the beauty and solitude of the forest.

I wish y’all could have seen it… my words fail.

Scooping out the peas. Peas and other salad ingredients added to a large glass bowl surrounded by olive oil in a glass container, two half slices of lemon, fresh onion and tarragon leaves.Picking out the tarragon leaves from its stem and placed in a small glass bowl. The dressing is mixed in a white bowl with a wire whisk.

Reflecting on our years of marriage, it’s been an interesting and exciting journey with twists and turns I would have never imagined. I’ve learned much about our relationship, myself, the opposite sex (which I still haven’t figured out), what it means to be in a relationship and know for sure that men are from Mars and women, Venus.

My patience has been stretched and strengthened and the power of love revealed. I laugh more now than ever when we just can’t seem to communicate clearly or agree.

Tossing the Green Bean Salad and Peas with hands.

Inspired by the colors of the forest, this Green Bean Salad with Peas, Chard and Dijon Tarragon Vinaigrette is a salad Rob and I agree on. It just feels good to eat a bowlfull of green stuff. Hearty as a main, or paired with a sandwich, this salad holds well and travels with ease. It’s an ideal salad for picnics, lunch, or dinner.

It comes together quick with just enough time on the stove to blanch, rendering the beans tender-crisp and peas smooth as silk. Have you tried chard? It’s is a mellow green that ads texture and bulk to this salad while the tangy vinaigrette brightens and ties all the ingredients together.

A bowl of Green Bean Salad with Peas, Chard and Dijon Tarragon Vinaigrette.

This is a farm-to-table salad, packed with vibrance, fiber and greens to nourish mind, body and soul. Find the ingredients at your local farmers market and make this. You’re going to love it!

…like the forest and celebrating life’s moments.

A Summertime salad with the freshest market veggies. We've eaten this salad as a main course, but it can be a star side or fabulous starter. Vegan + GF

Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 1 C Peas fresh or frozen (shelled if fresh), 172g
  • 1 lb Green Beans trimmed, 438g
  • 3 C Rainbow or Swiss Chard stems trimmed, leaves rolled up and cut into long ribbons (about 4 large leaves)* See note, 86g
  • 1/4 C Purple Onion finely diced, 45g

For the Dressing:

  • 3 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 Lemon zested
  • 2 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 1/2 tsp Fresh Tarragon finely chopped
  • Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1/8 tsp Sea Salt
  • Black Pepper to Taste
  • 1 Clove of Garlic grated on a microplane, about 1 tsp

Instructions

For the Salad:

  • Place a large pot on the stove and fill it 2/3 full of water. Bring the water to a boil. While the water is coming to a boil prepare an ice bath with a strainer that fits inside the bath. When the water is boiling, add the peas. Blanch for 45 seconds. Using a large slotted spoon or strainer, scoop out the peas and place them in the ice bath strainer. Strain the peas and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  • Use the same water to blanch the green beans, making sure the water is boiling. Blanch the green beans for 4 minutes. If needed, add more ice to the ice bath. Drain the green beans and place them in the strainer in the ice bath. Allow the beans to rest in the ice bath until cool. At this point, you can cut the green beans into smaller, bite size pieces. I cut mine on the bias. Place the green beans in the same large mixing bowl with the peas.
  • Add the chard and purple onion to the large mixing bowl.

For the Dressing:

  • To a small mixing bowl add the oil, mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, tarragon, red pepper, salt, a few grinds of black pepper and the garlic. Use a whisk to whisk all the ingredients together. I cannot get this dressing to form an emulsion.. if you can, I want to know your secret! There is too little dressing to put in a food processor - I tried. So just whisk until it all comes somewhat together.

To Assemble:

  • Dress the salad with all the dressing and toss with hands. Finish it with fresh ground pepper to taste. This salad holds well overnight in the fridge already dressed. iIf packing it for a picnic, lunch or dinner party, go ahead and dress it in advance.

Notes

*Save the chard stems to toss in a smoothie or a stir fry.

    A very tasty salad, thank you for this recipe. Since we’re not vegetarians, I added some crispy fried bacon, but the salad would be great even without it. We enjoyed our salad with fresh crusty bread, and that was a delicious summer meal. :)

    It’s so nice to see a marriage that works out beautifully, and a relationship that has blossomed since high school. Wow!!! Congratulations :) It’s also nice to unplug once in a while, esp. for your anniversary.
    About this salad, it looks so fresh, so refreshing, and looks so yummy. I love salad that can be prepared for the picnic, and yours looks wonderful, Traci. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.

    So you mean you and Rob got married when you were 5?? ;) hehe But seriously, happy 25th anniversary!!! Wow! I can only hope to be as lucky as you two <3 That's such an amazing accomplishment. Relationships are hard work, but with respect, patience, and understanding, love can persevere and conquer as you two have so beautifully shown. Celebrating in the mountains sounds like the perfect way to commemorate and reflect. I absolutely love nature, and I love the stillness that you can find there. It's breathtaking seeing what mother nature has created for us living species to enjoy. And this salad is also breathtaking! Wow! I've never been so excited to eat green beans! I love that this is so farm-to-table. It looks flavorful, healthy, and refreshing. If I was there, the photo of you tossing the salad with your hands would have caught another arm reaching out into the bowl to steal a bite too! ;) Gorgeous, gorgeous job Traci! And stunning photos as always <3

      We were young, and actually, my and his dad went to high school together! Small world, eh? Thank you Beeta! You would have loved it, we stayed in Leavenworth and hiked just West of it. There were forest fires burning about 2 hours North so the smoke started coming in.. we left a bit early and hiked on our way out of town where the air was a bit clearer. It was sublime. LOL – grabin salad! :D I would have welcomed it Beeta! Thank you! xx

    25 years… amazing! Congratulations Traci and what an ideal way for you and Rob to celebrate. Loved reading your reflections – funny, Hollywood usually leaves out the part about what it truly means to cultivate a long-term relationship :p I hope you’re having a beautiful weekend — and this salad… oh my! the colour is extraordinary and isn’t rainbow chard one of the prettiest greens ever? The French co. Maille used to make a tarragon vinegar that I just adored with a full branch of tarragon running up the length of the bottle. They have since discontinued it which is a shame — not sure if it was too expensive (kind of like skippy having to remove the peanut from the butter :) all things change. xx

I loved seeing how it grows and how to harvest it. It is gorgeous and it’s oh so good for us! Mmmmm a tarragon vinegar sounds fabulous… have you DIY’d it? Haha – Skippy – WTH!? :D

    Aww, happy anniversary to you and Rob, my friend! 25 years is such a special milestone. I love how you celebrated with a little trip to the woods, too. What a nice way to reflect on everything you’ve been through together. I wish you two many more years of happiness :)

    And this salad…I must make it as soon as possible! Before I was vegetarian, one of my favorite meals was tarragon chicken. Strangely, that seems to be one of the few ways people use the herb. So I’m thrilled that now I have a new way to enjoy it! And with your perfectly blanched veggies, I can really see how this would be a delicious dish. I”ll be on the lookout for tarragon on my next trip to the market!

    I think, this green bean salad is the epitome of a summer salad made with the freshest ingredients. I love that you used swiss chard. I am a huge fan and use it whenever I can get my hands on.

    Happy anniversary to you and Rob! 25 is a big milestone! Sounds like you had a wonderful trip away. Some time in nature and the mountains sounds perfect right now. And I am with my high school sweet heart too! We’ve been together for 12 years, which sounds like a lot when you’re 29. But I love it. I always tell him I’m glad we met so young because I would have missed him. So many shared memories. We’ve practically grown up together. And glad that we grew up to be even closer. A lot can change in college, but we loved each other more than ever. The best!

    This salad is simply gorgeous Traci! I just love all your recipes and photography : )

    Happy 25th Traci! I also celebrated my 25th this past June! Time flies when you’re having fun doesn’t it?! I spend all summer buying beautiful fruits and vegetables from the local farms near me and this salad will be on my list of things I must make! It is gorgeous! And that dressing! Cannot wait to try. Thanks for sharing this beauty! Have a great weekend!
