FRENCH STRING BEAN SALAD
Steps:
- Fill a large bowl with ice water. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Add the beans and cook for 1 minute only. Time it carefully! You want the beans to be crisp-tender. Drain the beans and put them in the ice water until completely cool. Drain the beans again, dry on paper towels, and place them in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil to make an emulsion. Pour enough dressing over the beans to moisten them well, reserving the rest for another use. Toss with the dill, season to taste, and serve at room temperature. (If the beans aren't served immediately, refrigerate them and add a little extra vinaigrette and a sprinkle of salt before serving.)
GREEN BEANS WITH HERBS AND OLIVES
A salad of freshly picked green beans is a true treat. Whatever the color - green, purple or pale yellow - choose smaller beans, which are naturally more tender.

Steps:
- Bring a large saucepan of well-salted water to a boil. Add beans and cook for 2 minutes, until firm-tender. Drain and rinse beans with cool water, then blot with a kitchen towel. Set aside.
- Make the vinaigrette: Put garlic, shallot and vinegar in a small bowl. Add a good pinch of salt and a smaller pinch of pepper; let macerate for 5 to 10 minutes. Add mustard and whisk to dissolve, then whisk in olive oil.
- Assemble the salad: Put cooked beans in a serving bowl and season lightly with salt and pepper. Add olives and half the vinaigrette. Toss well, then taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle salad with dill and chives and serve.

EASY COLD GREEN BEAN SALAD
What makes this cold green bean salad so good is that the beans marinate while they are still warm--that way the beans soak up the vinaigrette and become more flavorful.

GREEK CUCUMBER BEAN SALAD
I make this salad to last all week for my work lunch. It's very versatile in that you could add different types of beans or even a different flavor dressing to your taste. I like to use enough Kalamata olives that I have one in almost every bite! You could easily cut this recipe in half to serve for dinner.
