Steps:
- To make the green beans:
- In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook beans until-crisp-tender, about 6 minutes, and drain well.

- To make the mustard sauce:
- In a bowl whisk together mustard, sugar, and vinegar until sugar is dissolved and whisk in oil until sauce is emulsified. Whisk in water to thin sauce to the desired consistency. Sauce may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Serve sauce at room temperature. Makes 1 1/2 cups.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans. Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
- Trim the green beans before cooking. Remove the tough ends of the beans and any strings that may be present.
- Blanch the green beans before cooking. This will help to preserve their color and nutrients.
- Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Season the green beans with your favorite herbs and spices. Some popular options include garlic, onion, salt, and pepper.
- Serve the green beans immediately. They are best when they are fresh and hot.
