These fresh green beans help balance out the richness of the rest of the Thanksgiving meal.
Ingredients
-
2 pounds green beans, stem ends trimmed
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
-
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
-
1 teaspoon coarse salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
Directions
-
Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Fill a large bowl with ice water; set aside.
-
Place green beans, stem ends trimmed, in basket. Cover; steam until crisp-tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Plunge beans in ice water. When cool, drain; pat dry with paper towels. Transfer to a large bowl.
-
In a small bowl or jar, whisk or shake extra-virgin olive oil, white-wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, coarse salt, and ground pepper until thickened and combined. Pour over beans; toss to coat.
Cook's Notes
To make ahead (up to one day), steam beans and make the dressing; refrigerate separately, covered. Up to one hour before serving, toss beans with dressing, and keep at room temperature.
