Ingredients
For the Bean Salad:
- 8 ounces green beans
- 2 small shallot
- Salt water to boil beans
- ice water to stop the boiling process
For the Dressing:
- 2 Teaspoons Dijon mustard *see Note
- 2 Teaspoons vinegar *see Note
- ¼ Teaspoon salt
- pinch Black Pepper Ground
- 1 ½ Tablespoon oil *see Note
Instructions
For the Bean Salad:
- Prepare your green beans by cutting off both ends. Rinse your beans and keep aside.
- Slice shallots and keep aside.
- Keep a pan with salt water to boil and once the water boils place the green beans into the water.
- Boil green beans for 5–7 minutes, or until they are cooked but still crunchy. That way they will remain green too and won't overcook and get mushy.
- Quickly place cooked beans into a bowl prepared with ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Strain cooked beans and pat dry.
For the Dressing:
- Prepare your vinaigrette dressing. Place the mustard with the vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix the content well with a fork.
- Next, pour in the oil. Beat the dressing until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Assemble Salad:
- Add sliced shallots to the green beans in a serving bowl. Briefly mix together.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the green beans and serve at room temperature or cooled.
Notes
- Use a French Dijon mustard. You can use wholegrain mustard as seen in the post or the ground classic Dijon mustard. Further options: Green Pepper Mustard and fruity red colored black currant wholegrain mustard. These are all Dijon mustard flavor variations.
- For the Vinegar use something like white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar or regular distilled white vinegar
- For the oil, use plain sunflower oil or canola oil or vegetable oil.
- Pick raw green beans which are tight, dark green young and slim. The older, the more fibrous the green beans get.
