The heady, tangy vinaigrette complements the crisp, sweet green beans. Use a garlic press, if you have one, to crush the garlic for this summery dressing; a press crushes garlic into small pieces, encouraging good-for-you compounds to develop. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 garlic cloves, crushed and minced |
1 tablespoon extravirgin olive oil |
1/2 cup seeded chopped tomato |
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme |
1 pound green beans, trimmed |
Directions:
1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl; slowly add oil, whisking to combine. Stir in tomato and thyme; let stand 10 minutes.
2. Steam beans, covered, 7 minutes or until crisp-tender. Cut into 2-inch pieces; add to tomato mixture, tossing gently to coat.
