Number Of Ingredients 8

4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons coarse-grained mustard
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
6 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt
1 1/2 pounds haricot verts, trimmed
1/2 small red onion, finely diced
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together mustards and the vinegar. Whisking constantly, add the oil in a steady stream; continue whisking until mixture is smooth and emulsified.
  • Prepare an ice bath; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Add beans, and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes; drain. Transfer beans to an ice bath to stop cooking; drain well.
  • Toss beans with onion and vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature.

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. Cut off the ends of the beans and remove any strings.
  • Blanch the green beans before cooking. This will help to preserve their color and crispness.
  • Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp. Do not overcook them, or they will become mushy.
  • Season the green beans with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Serve the green beans immediately. They are best when eaten fresh.
