Steps:
- In a saucepan over high heat in 1 inch of water, heat green beans to boiling.
- Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 5-10 minutes or until green beans are tender crisp; drain.
- In a bowl combine the mayonnaise, tarragon vinegar, salt, mustard and pepper; mix well.
- I like to put the green beans and sliced onions in a large zip-lock bag (less clean up) along with the tarragon dressing mixture, fumbling for dressing to coat green beans.
- If you don't have a large zip-lock bag you can place the green beans and sliced onions in a large dish and toss to coat with the tarragon dressing.
- Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours hours for flavors to blend before serving.
- Garnish with freshly topped tarragon.
- Serve and Enjoy!
