2 | pounds fresh green beans, ends trimmed |
5 | teaspoons red wine vinegar |
½ | teaspoon mustard (preferably Dijon) |
½ | teaspoon kosher salt |
1 | pinch pepper |
¼ | cup olive oil |
3 | teaspoons finely chopped tarragon |
1. To make the dressing: Stir together the vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper and slowly whisk in the olive oil until completely emulsified. Then whisk in the tarragon. Set aside.
2. Bring a large pot of water to boil and prepare a ice water bath to the side. Cook the beans for approximately three minutes, or until easily speared with a fork. Then immediately scoop the beans into the water bath and swish them around for a few seconds to stop the cooking.
3. Drain the beans and pat them dry, then toss them with the dressing and serve.
This recipe doubles or triples very easily. The beans can be blanched in advance, too!
20 minutes prep time
A hit with my husband, my daughter preferred them plain!
