Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
- Trim the beans: Remove the tough ends of the beans before cooking.
- Blanch the beans: This step helps to preserve the beans' color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately remove the beans from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Make the herb dressing: While the beans are blanching, make the herb dressing. Combine olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk until well blended.
- Toss the beans with the dressing: Once the beans are cool, drain them and pat them dry. Add the beans to a large bowl and toss them with the herb dressing. Serve immediately.
Conclusion:
Green beans with herb dressing is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The beans are crisp and tender, and the herb dressing is flavorful and tangy. This dish is also very versatile; you can add other ingredients to it, such as almonds, bacon, or feta cheese.
