Provided by Molly Watson

Categories     Side Dish

Time 10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound green beans (trimmed)
1 small shallot (or red onion)
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Pinch of sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground ​dry mustard
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Trim the green beans as needed. Set them aside. Prepare a large bowl of ice water and set it aside.
  • If you're using a steam basket, choose a pot that will fit the basket. Fill the pot with an inch of water and bring it to a boil or bring a 1/2 inch of water to a boil in a frying pan. Or put the beans in a microwave-safe container with 2 tablespoons of water.
  • Put the green beans in a steamer basket over the boiling water (or in the frying pan with the water), cover, and cook until as tender as you like: 3 minutes for crisp-tender green beans and closer to 6 minutes for fully cooked beans. Or microwave in 1-minute intervals until the desired temperature is reached.
  • Once the beans are steamed , immediately plunge them in the ice water. Swish the beans around until they're completely cool. Dry them thoroughly. Put the dried green beans in a shallow dish.
  • Peel and mince the shallot or onion, vinegar, and salt in a small bowl. Whisk the sugar, mustard, and oil into the shallot mixture. Pour the dressing over the green beans, toss so all the green beans are coated with the dressing, cover the container, and chill at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH HOT MUSTARD DRESSING



Green Bean Salad With Hot Mustard Dressing image

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.
