Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Coarse salt
1 pound haricots verts or thin green beans, trimmed
1/2 cup pecans
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt and haricots verts. Cook beans until bright green and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes; drain. Transfer to a serving dish.
  • Meanwhile, spread pecans in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; toast in oven until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Coarsely chop nuts when they are cool enough to handle.
  • Whisk vinegar, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; season with pepper. Whisking constantly, pour in oil in a slow, steady stream; whisk until emulsified. Just before serving, gently toss beans with vinaigrette and chopped nuts; sprinkle with zest. Serve warm.
