Ingredients

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed

1 1/2 pounds parsnips (4 medium), peeled, cut into 1/2-by-2-inch sticks

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 small red onion, halved and very thinly sliced

1/4 cup red-wine vinegar

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Preparation

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook green beans and parsnips until crisp-tender, 8 minutes. Drain; transfer to a large bowl.

In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add red onion and cook until translucent, 3 minutes. Slowly add vinegar and mustard, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Pour pickled onions and dressing over vegetables and toss well. Serve warm or at room temperature.
