Chef Ludo Lefebvre says the key to perfect vegetable salads is properly cooking each vegetable. Blanching and shocking the green and wax beans before grilling gives them an evenly tender bite with delicious flavor from the grill. Grilling without blanching first leads to leathery skins and undercooked beans, so don’t skip the blanching.
