Ingredients
- 1 lb green and yellow string beans stem ends trimmed ~ leave the pointy ends intact.
- 1 small shallot, minced
dill vinaigrette
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup dill fronds
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice, fresh squeezed
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Bring a pot of well salted water to a boil. Set up an ice bath.
- When the water is at a rolling boil, drop the beans into the pot and set a timer for one minute (don't wait for the water to come back to a boil.) When the timer goes off, drain the beans and plunge into the ice bath. Once the beans are cool, remove them to dry on a clean kitchen towel.
- Make the dressing in a small food processor: put all the ingredients into the bowl and process until smooth. Taste the dressing and adjust as you like.
- Put the dried off beans in a mixing bowl with the minced shallots. Toss with the dressing (you may not need all of it.)
- Chill the salad until ready to serve.
- Note that olive oil can solidify when refrigerated. If so, leave the salad at room temperature for 15 minutes or so to allow it to return to tis liquid state.
