Haricots Verts and Freekeh with Minty Tahini Dressing

This vibrant haricots verts and freekeh salad is a sophisticated vegan dish that celebrates layers of texture and fresh, herbaceous flavours. The nutty, chewy profile of the freekeh grains provides a satisfying base for the crisp green beans, while the creamy tahini dressing is lifted by a hint of dried mint and zesty lemon. It is an excellent choice for a light lunch or a standout side dish for a weekend gathering.

Packed with plant-based protein and heart-healthy fats from walnuts and tahini, this wholesome salad is as nutritious as it is delicious. The abundance of fresh dill, parsley and coriander adds a fragrant brightness that cuts through the richness of the dressing. For the best results, ensure the beans are dried thoroughly after blanching so the dressing clings perfectly to every ingredient.

How to make Haricots Verts and Freekeh with Minty Tahini Dressing

Cook freekeh in a large saucepan of salted simmering water until al dente, 12–15 minutes for cracked and 30–35 for uncracked. Drain and rinse under cold water; set aside.

Meanwhile, cook haricots verts in a small pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl of ice water; let cool. Drain, then pat dry.

Whisk garlic, lemon juice, oil, tahini, mint, maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon water in a large bowl; season with salt. Add freekeh and haricots verts and toss gently to coat; season with salt.

Serve freekeh and haricots verts topped with walnuts, coriander, dill, parsley, and Aleppo pepper.

Do ahead: Freekeh and haricots verts can be cooked 2 days ahead. Cover and chill separately.
