Summer Bean Salad With Creamy Lemon Dressing image

This recipe is from Eat This Book by Tyler Florence. Tyler came up with this recipe while strolling through the Union Square Greenmarket in New York City and he came across some really cool summer beans -- yellow wax beans and haricots verts. He put together a simple vinaigrette of lemon juice, mustard, and creme fraiche.

1 lb green beans, yellow wax beans or 1 lb runner beans, stems trimmed
1 1/2 shallots, finely chopped
1/2 cup walnut halves, and pieces toasted
1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon grainy mustard

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup creme fraiche or 1/4 cup sour cream
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add all of the beans and cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes (they'll all be done at roughly the same time). Drain, transfer to a bowl of salted ice water to stop the cooking, and drain well. Transfer to a mixing bowl and toss int he shallots, walnuts, and parsley.
  • In a jar, combine the mustard, water, sugar, lemon juice, oil, creme fraiche, salt, and pepper. Put the cap on and shake vigorously to emulsify. Just before you serve the salad, pour the dressing over the beans and toss well to coat with the dressing.

I found the dressing to be a bit too tangy for my taste, so I added a little bit of honey to balance it out.
