1 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | pounds | Green beans; trimmed |
| 1 | teaspoon | Dijon-style mustard |
| 1 | tablespoon | White-wine vinegar |
| ¼ | cup | Olive oil |
| 3 | tablespoons | Minced fresh mint leaves |
| ½ | cup | Finely chopped red onion |
Directions
In a kettle of boiling water cook the beans for 2 to 4 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender, transfer them with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop the cooking, and drain them well. Pat the beans dry with paper towels and chill them, covered, for at least 3 hours or overnight.
In a large bowl whisk together the mustard, the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. Add the beans, the mint, and the onion and toss the mixture until it is combined well.
Serves 6.
