Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams green beans
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Set them aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for 5-6 minutes, until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
While the green beans cook, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and water.
Once the beans are cooked, drain them and immediately transfer them to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 2 minutes, then drain and pat them dry.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to create the vinaigrette.
Place the green beans in a large bowl and drizzle the vinaigrette over them. Toss gently to coat the beans evenly.
Transfer the green beans to a serving platter and garnish with a sprinkle of additional black pepper or red pepper flakes, if desired.
Serve immediately or at room temperature, and enjoy your Honey Mustard Green Beans Vinaigrette!
