Servings: 6 | Serving size: 4 ounces green beans

Cooking Time: 30 Minutes

This recipe can easily be multiplied. This recipe keeps well but the beans will turn gray-green in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
• 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 2 Tbsp. water
• 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
• 2 tsp. honey
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 2 quarts water
• 1 1/2 lb. fresh green beans (trimmed at ends)
• 4 quarts ice water

Combine the vinegar, olive oil, 2 tablespoons water, Dijon mustard, honey, and salt in a mixing bowl.

Place in the refrigerator to chill. Whisk occasionally.

Place the water in a medium stock pot and set a steamer basket inside the pot.

Place the pot on the range over high heat.

When the water begins to boil reduce the heat to medium and steam the green beans until they turn bright green and are slightly tender.

This will take about 10 minutes.

Remove them from the heat and place in the ice water for about 10 minutes.

Remove and shake dry and then add to the cold vinaigrette.

Toss for about 2 minutes until coated well.

Serve.
