Steps:
- Whisk together vinegar, mustard, pepper, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
- Quarter potatoes, then cover with cold water by 1 inch in a 4- to 5-quart pot and bring to a boil with remaining teaspoon salt. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, then transfer hot potatoes to a large bowl and toss with onion and all but 1/4 cup vinaigrette. Cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
- While potatoes cool, cook green beans in a 3-quart saucepan of boiling salted water, uncovered, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes, then drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Let stand 2 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
- Just before serving, toss potato mixture with green beans, celery, parsley, and remaining 1/4 cup vinaigrette.
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-trimmed haricots verts. If you're using fresh haricots verts, trim the ends and remove any tough strings.
- Blanching the haricots verts in salted water helps to preserve their color and crispness.
- Be sure to rinse the haricots verts with cold water after blanching to stop the cooking process.
- For a more flavorful vinaigrette, use a good quality mustard. Dijon mustard is a classic choice, but you can also try other types of mustard, such as whole-grain mustard or honey mustard.
- If you don't have shallots on hand, you can substitute a small onion.
- Serve the haricots verts warm or at room temperature.
Conclusion:
This simple yet flavorful dish is a great way to enjoy haricots verts. The mustard vinaigrette adds a tangy and slightly spicy flavor that complements the sweetness of the haricots verts. This dish can be served as a side dish or as a light main course.
