Ingredients
1 1/4 pounds green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 slices bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Directions
- Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
- Crimp and fold the edges of a double layer of aluminum foil so it resembles a rimmed baking sheet. Put the beans in the center and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add 2 tablespoons water.
- Place the foil on the grill cook, tossing the beans occasionally, until lightly charred and tender, about 15 minutes.
- While the beans grill, cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium heat until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings and then stir the mustard, vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the skillet until combined.
- Transfer the beans to a servings bowl and pour the warm vinaigrette over top. Toss well, scatter with the cooked bacon and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper.
