Steps:
- Put a baking sheet on the bottom oven rack and preheat to 450 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Pat dry and transfer to a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, toss the cauliflower with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Transfer to the hot baking sheet and roast, tossing once, until tender and golden brown in spots, about 20 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel?lined plate to drain. Increase the heat to medium high and add the oyster and shiitake mushrooms and the shallots to the skillet; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, parsley and tarragon.
- Transfer the mushroom mixture to the bowl with the green beans. Add the cauliflower and bacon; drizzle with the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss. Serve warm or at room temperature.

MARINATED VEGETABLES WITH MUSTARD DILL DRESSING
Steps:
- Make marinade:
- In a small saucepan bring marinade ingredients to a boil stirring until sugar is dissolved and cool.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Wrap beets tightly in foil and roast in middle of oven 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until tender. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook carrots until crisp-tender, 6 to 7 minutes, and transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
- Unwrap beets carefully and cool. Slip off beet skins and slice beets, transferring to another bowl. Divide marinade between beets and carrots, combining well, and marinate, covered and chilled, at least 4 hours.
- In a saucepan of boiling carrot-cooking water cook beans until crisp- tender, 5 to 6 minutes, and drain in a colander. Rinse beans well under cold water and pat dry between paper towels. Vegetables may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- Make dressing:
- In a bowl whisk together mustard, vinegar, water, sugar, and salt and add oil in a stream, whisking until dressing is emulsified. Whisk in dill.
- Just before serving, toss beans in a bowl with 2 tablespoons dressing and drain beets and carrots. Arrange vegetables decoratively on a platter and drizzle with remaining dressing.
GREEN BEANS WITH DILL
Steamed green beans served with a button of butter make for a perfectly acceptable side dish, but if you're looking to elevate the green bean to company-worthy status (with almost no more effort), here's your recipe. Just blanch the beans for a few minutes, toss with butter, chopped fresh dill and a grind or two of black pepper.

- Stir and toss beans in pot over low heat, until butter is melted. Taste a bean and season with salt and more pepper, or dill, if desired.

MARINATED CAULIFLOWER AND CARROTS WITH MINT
This is an elaboration of one of my favorite carrot dishes. That dish couldn't be simpler - steamed carrots tossed with sherry vinegar, olive oil, salt and fresh mint. It is good at room temperature or warm, as a starter or a side dish. I added steamed cauliflower to the mix but made no other changes to the formula. The cauliflower, which always loves a vinegar marinade, is a wonderful addition, very compatible with the carrots and pretty, too. The dish is great for a buffet as it only gets better as it sits. The dish is particularly beautiful if you use different colored carrots.

- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives these vegetables their delicious flavor. Be sure to use a good quality olive oil and vinegar, and add plenty of fresh herbs and spices.
- Let the vegetables marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to penetrate the vegetables.
- Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp: You don't want to overcook them, or they will become mushy.
- Serve the vegetables immediately: These vegetables are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them as soon as they are cooked.
