Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups ice cubes
Instructions
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot and prepare a large bowl of ice water alongside.
Add the trimmed green beans to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Using a slotted spoon, immediately transfer the green beans to the ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for 2 minutes, then drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, salt, and pepper until emulsified and smooth.
Add the blanched green beans to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly in the mustard dressing.
Serve the mustard green beans warm, at room temperature, or chilled as a side dish.
