Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams haricots verts (thin green beans)
- 100 grams goat cheese, crumbled
- 50 grams slivered almonds, toasted
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium shallot, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and blanch for 2-3 minutes, or until just tender but still crisp. Drain and immediately plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain again thoroughly and set aside.
Toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and sauté for 2 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, black pepper, and water. Whisk together and let the warm dressing simmer gently for 1-2 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
In a large bowl, toss the blanched haricots verts with the warm dressing until evenly coated.
Transfer the dressed haricots verts to a serving platter. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese and toasted slivered almonds over the top.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
