Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 60 milliliters white wine
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Step 2
Add the trimmed green beans to the boiling water and cook for 4-5 minutes, until they are bright green and just tender but still crisp.
Step 3
Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and set aside.
Step 4
In a small skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 5
Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, letting it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow it to cool for a minute.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the sautéed garlic and white wine mixture, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.
Step 7
Place the cooled green beans in a serving bowl and pour the vinaigrette over them. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
