Dijon Green Beans

Yum. Yum. Yum.

I made this tonight with BBQ Chicken in Foil (and I might add it's the first meal I've had in a long time that didn't have a carb in it. No starch either for that matter.). Anyhow, this recipe was delicious. I like to find new and different ways to make use of something that can be as boring as green beans can be. I could see making this the night before and letting it sit in the vinaigrette - it'd be delicious.

Dijon Green Beans
Recipe from Taste of Home
Serves: 10
  • 1 1/2 pounds Fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 cup Grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup Red onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese

1. Place beans in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender.

2. Meanwhile, for dressing, whisk the vinegar, oil, mustard, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Drain beans; place in a large bowl. Add tomatoes and onion. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
