Mustard and honey emulsify and flavor a warm bacon vinaigrette that coats the beans thoroughly, even after the green bean salad has chilled. Ingredients:
2 pounds green beans, trimmed |
3 bacon slices |
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots |
1/4 cup red wine vinegar |
1 tablespoon honey |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
Directions:
1. Cook beans in boiling water 5 minutes. Drain and plunge beans into ice water; drain. Place beans in a large bowl.
2. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, reserving 1 teaspoon drippings in pan. Crumble bacon; set aside. Add shallots to drippings in pan; cook 1 1/2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add vinegar; cook 30 seconds, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Drizzle mixture over beans.
3. Combine honey, mustard, pepper, and salt, stirring with a whisk. Pour over green bean mixture; toss to coat. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon.
