Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 slices bacon
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
½ cup finely chopped onion
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup white vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dry mustard
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 pounds green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 slices bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.

  • Transfer the beans to a servings bowl and pour the warm vinaigrette over top. Toss well, scatter with the cooked bacon and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper.

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh green beans and yellow peppers. If you can't find fresh green beans, you can use frozen green beans, but be sure to thaw them before using.

  • To make the oregano vinaigrette, you can use either fresh or dried oregano. If you are using fresh oregano, be sure to chop it finely.
  • You can adjust the amount of vinegar and oil in the vinaigrette to taste. If you like a more tangy vinaigrette, add more vinegar. If you like a more mild vinaigrette, add more oil.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for a few hours before serving.
