GREEN BEANS WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE
Grab-and-go offerings of picnicky food are almost universally mediocre and exasperatingly expensive. Resist the temptation to outsource and make your own. This recipe is built to last. You can make it a day or two ahead of time, or leave it out on the counter if you're going to eat these green beans within a few hours of making it.

Steps:
- Blanch green beans in boiling water, then plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking.
- Toss with a vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice and a tiny bit of minced garlic. (To turn this into a main dish, sear some tuna until crusty on the outside, but still raw in the middle. Cut into thick slices or chunks, and toss with the green beans and dressing.)
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans. Look for beans that are bright green and crisp, with no blemishes or bruises.
- Trim the green beans before cooking. Remove the tough ends of the beans and any strings that may be present.
- Blanch the green beans before sautéing. This will help them retain their color and crispness.
- Use a high-quality sesame oil. This will give the vinaigrette a rich, nutty flavor.
- Don't overcook the green beans. They should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, but still have a bit of a bite to them.
- Serve the green beans immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Green beans with sesame vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
