Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds green beans, trimmed
1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons minced fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion

Steps:

  • In a kettle of boiling water cook the beans for 2 to 4 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender, transfer them with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop the cooking, and drain them well. Pat the beans dry with paper towels and chill them, covered, for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the mustard, the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. Add the beans, the mint, and the onion and toss the mixture until it is combined well.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover green beans. I always have a few extra beans after making a salad or stir-fry, and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm allergic to onions, so I omitted them from the recipe. The beans were still very flavorful and delicious.

I added some crumbled feta cheese to the beans and it was delicious! It gave them a nice salty flavor.

I didn't have any fresh mint, so I used dried mint instead. It still turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and the beans turned out a little too crunchy for my taste. Next time I'll cook them for a few minutes longer.

I was looking for a healthy and refreshing side dish to serve with grilled salmon, and this recipe fit the bill perfectly! The beans were crisp and tender, and the dressing was light and tangy. I'll definitely be making this again.
