Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch them for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Immediately remove the green beans from the boiling water and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, olive oil, chopped tarragon, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until the vinaigrette is smooth and emulsified.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the green beans with the mustard tarragon vinaigrette until they are evenly coated.
Serve immediately as a warm side dish, or refrigerate for 30 minutes and serve chilled for a refreshing salad option.
