Green And Yellow Beans In Lemon Mustard Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the green beans and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water using tongs, pushing the beans down to submerge them. Let cool completely, about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
• Meanwhile, whisk the vinegar, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the shallots and stir to coat. Let sit until the green beans are ready.
• Whisk the mustard into the shallot mixture, then gradually add the olive oil, whisking constantly, until smooth and thick. Add the green beans and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Blanch green beans in boiling water, then plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking.
• Toss with a vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice and a tiny bit of minced garlic. (To turn this into a main dish, sear some tuna until crusty on the outside, but still raw in the middle. Cut into thick slices or chunks, and toss with the green beans and dressing.)

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, lemon zest and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Whisk until combined. Set aside.
• In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 4 minutes. Drain and place the beans in a serving dish. Toss with the vinaigrette and almonds and serve.

Steps:

• Using a steamer, or a saucepan or wok with a steamer insert, steam the beans until they are tender but still crunchy, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and pat dry. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, onion, garlic, tarragon, sugar and salt. Pour the vinaigrette over the beans and toss to coat. Spoon the beans onto a serving platter. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper to taste. This recipe yields 4 servings.
