WARM DIJON POTATO SALAD WITH GREEN BEANS
Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least a couple inches. Salt the water generously, bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Bring another pot of salted water to a boil and throw the beans in just for a minute or two until they turn bright green. Strain them and run them under cold water to stop the beans from cooking.
- In a mixing bowl combine the remaining ingredients and whisk until smooth.
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and then into roughly 1 inch chunks. Cut beans in half. Toss the potato chunks in the dressing and then toss in the green beans and the parsley.

DIJON CHICKEN AND GREEN BEANS
This is a quick and simple dish to make when you've had a busy day. Low in calories AND it tastes good!! If you like your green beans crunchy, this is perfect. If you prefer tender, I would recommend blanching or boiling beans for a minute before putting them in foil. A friend found this recipe and made it on the grill when we went camping, but I've also made it at home in the oven.

GREEN BEANS DIJON
This is our Thanksgiving side dish staple but it would go great with chicken or salmon. One of the great things about this recipe is that you can cook the green beans ahead of time and make the sauce at the last minute which usually helps with those holiday meals! This is a family recipe that originally came from my Aunt in SoCal. UPDATE: after reading reviews, I've increased the amount of chicken broth to make more of the yummy sauce. Thanks for the great feedback!

Steps:
- 1. Bring a large pot of water boiling over high heat. Add potatoes; cook 4 minutes. Add green beans; cook until veggies are tender, about 6 minutes more. Test for doneness, drain.
- 2. Meanwhile, in large serving bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper until blended. Stir in the parsley. Add potatoes and beans; toss until coated. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp green beans: Look for beans that are a deep green color and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the beans, as well as any strings that may be attached. You can use a sharp knife or a kitchen shears to do this.
- Blanch the green beans: This step helps to preserve the beans' color and crispness. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the green beans. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the beans are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the beans immediately and rinse them with cold water.
- Make the Dijon dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Toss the green beans with the dressing: Add the blanched green beans to a large bowl and pour the Dijon dressing over top. Use tongs to toss the beans until they are evenly coated.
- Serve immediately or chill: Dijon green beans can be served immediately or chilled for later. If you are chilling the beans, be sure to bring them to room temperature before serving.
Conclusion:
Dijon green beans are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed year-round. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give Dijon green beans a try!
