Haricots verts are tender, young French green beans. If not labeled as such in your market, look for slim, petite green beans. Crème fraîche adds a nutty flavor and rich texture to the dressing; look for it near the gourmet cheeses in your supermarket. Substitute whole sour cream, if you prefer. Ingredients:
1 pound haricots verts, trimmed |
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil |
2 tablespoons minced shallots |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
2 tablespoons crème fraîche |
1 tablespoon honey |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved |
1 tablespoon pine nuts, toasted |
Directions:
1. Cook haricots verts in boiling water 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse with cold water; drain.
2. Combine basil and next 5 ingredients (through salt) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add haricots verts and tomatoes; toss gently to coat. Divide mixture evenly among 6 plates; sprinkle with nuts.
