Minted green beans with red onion

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 pounds Green beans; trimmed
1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon White-wine vinegar
¼ cup Olive oil
3 tablespoons Minced fresh mint leaves
½ cup Finely chopped red onion

Directions

In a kettle of boiling water cook the beans for 2 to 4 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender, transfer them with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop the cooking, and drain them well. Pat the beans dry with paper towels and chill them, covered, for at least 3 hours or overnight.

In a large bowl whisk together the mustard, the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. Add the beans, the mint, and the onion and toss the mixture until it is combined well.

Serves 6.
