This green bean recipe gets its flavor from the hit of citrus in the dressing. Serve it with your favorite grilled chicken recipe tonight. Ingredients:
2 pounds green beans, trimmed |
5 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, divided |
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots |
3/4 teaspoon grated lemon rind |
2 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
2 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice |
2 1/2 teaspoons fresh orange juice |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan, and add green beans. Cook beans for 4 minutes or until crisp-tender, and drain. Rinse with cold water, drain, and set aside.
2. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots; cook 2 minutes or until shallots begin to brown, stirring constantly.
3. Combine the shallots, lemon rind, lemon juice, lime juice, orange juice, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Slowly add 4 1/2 teaspoons oil, stirring well. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the beans, tossing gently to coat.
