Chilled Green Bean Salad
INGREDIENTS
1 pound green beans
Marinade
3 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
French Dressing
1 tablespoon tarragon vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
DIRECTIONS
Have ready a large bowl of ice water. Trim beans and slice each in half lengthwise to make two thin slices.
Boil 6 to 8 quarts water in a large stockpot over medium high heat. Add beans and cover. When water comes back to a boil, uncover and continue cooking for 5 to 8 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon and place in the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain in a colander.
When cool, arrange beans in a shallow dish. Season with the marinade and refrigerate. When ready to serve, drain marinade and mix with French dressing.
