GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH HOT MUSTARD DRESSING
Hot mustard powder brings a sharp, spicy twist to traditional mustard vinaigrette, which complements sweet green beans well. The beans are blanched until crisp-tender, then tossed in the vinaigrette while still hot. As the beans cool, they absorb all the flavors of mild shallot, fragrant garlic, tangy rice vinegar and hot mustard. Rich, roasted pecans add nutty sweetness to balance the spicy dressing. Though the salad can be made a few hours ahead, you'll want to top it with the nuts right before serving to preserve their crunch. The beans themselves can be served at room temperature or chilled.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- In a large bowl, combine mustard powder and 2 tablespoons of very hot water; mix well. Let stand for 5 minutes to bloom. Add oil, shallot, rice vinegar, ginger, sugar and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth, then stir in scallions.
- Once the water is boiling, add the green beans and blanch them until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to the large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and toss until evenly coated in the dressing. Let cool, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer beans to a serving bowl or platter. Serve at room temperature or chilled, and top with the pecans.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans. Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are wilted, bruised, or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans. Cut off the ends of the beans, where the stem was attached. You can also remove the strings from the beans by running a sharp knife along the length of the bean, on both sides.
- Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp. You can cook green beans in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and stir-frying. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose, but you want to cook the beans until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Add the hot sauce to taste. The amount of hot sauce you add will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more until you reach the desired level of spiciness.
- Serve the green beans immediately. Green beans are best served hot or warm. You can garnish them with chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Conclusion:
Green beans and hot sauce is a simple but flavorful side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. The beans are tender and crisp, with a slight kick from the hot sauce. This dish is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K, and potassium.
