Steps:
- Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
- Crimp and fold the edges of a double layer of aluminum foil so it resembles a rimmed baking sheet. Put the beans in the center and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add 2 tablespoons water.
- Place the foil on the grill cook, tossing the beans occasionally, until lightly charred and tender, about 15 minutes.
- While the beans grill, cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium heat until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings and then stir the mustard, vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the skillet until combined.
- Transfer the beans to a servings bowl and pour the warm vinaigrette over top. Toss well, scatter with the cooked bacon and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans: Trim the ends of the green beans by snapping them off. You can also use a sharp knife to cut off the ends.
- Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and crunch. To blanch the green beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green. Immediately remove the green beans from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Make the vinaigrette: The vinaigrette is a key component of this dish. Be sure to use good quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar. You can also add other ingredients to the vinaigrette, such as Dijon mustard, honey, or herbs.
- Cook the bacon: Cook the bacon until it is crispy. You can cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes.
- Assemble the dish: Combine the green beans, bacon, and vinaigrette in a large bowl. Toss to coat the green beans evenly. Serve immediately.
Conclusion:
This green bean salad is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The smoky bacon and tangy vinaigrette add a lot of flavor to the green beans. This salad is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice for your next meal.
