Provided by Molly Watson

Categories     Side Dish     Salad

Time 15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound green beans
1/4 cup water
Fine sea salt, to taste
1 small red onion
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, or white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon mustard
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Trim the green beans.
  • Bring 1/4 cup of water to a boil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the beans, sprinkle with salt, cover, and cook until the beans are crisp-tender and the water is evaporated, about 3 minutes.
  • Rinse the beans with cold water, pat them thoroughly dry, and set them aside.
  • Meanwhile, peel and halve the onion. Slice it into thin half-moons and set aside. (Rinse the slices with cold water to minimize the strong flavor of raw onion , if you like, just be sure to pat them thoroughly dry before you add them to the salad.)
  • In a large bowl (large enough to toss all the vegetables), whisk together the oil, vinegar, and mustard. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Put the cooked beans and the sliced onions in the bowl with the dressing and toss to coat the beans and onions thoroughly.
  • You can serve right away or let everything sit and marinate a bit before serving (if you're going to hold it more than about an hour, cover and chill).
