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)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Set them aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt to the water.

Step 3

Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for 5-6 minutes, until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.

Step 4

While the green beans cook, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and water.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Place the green beans in a large bowl and drizzle the vinaigrette over them. Toss gently to coat the beans evenly.

Step 8

Transfer the green beans to a serving platter and garnish with a sprinkle of additional black pepper or red pepper flakes, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately or at room temperature, and enjoy your Honey Mustard Green Beans Vinaigrette!
