Ingredients
For the Green Beans
- 1 pound fresh green beans trimmed
- ½ cup Chopped Pecans chopped
- ½ cup shaved Parmesan cheese
For the Dressing
- ½ shallot minced
- 1 large lemon zested and juiced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- kosher salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water.
- Blanch the green beans. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the green beans and cook until slightly softened and bright green, 3-4 minutes. Use a strainer to transfer the beans to the ice bath. Let them chill for 5 minutes. Strain and pat the beans dry with a paper towel.
- Make the dressing. In a medium bowl, mix shallot, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon, and honey. Slowly stream in oil while whisking until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, toss beans with dressing. Top with the pecans and parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
