1/4 pound string beans, ends snipped
1 medium shallot, halved and finely chopped
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for serving, optional
Directions
- Place 5 cups of water to boil with salt, once the water has reached a rolling boil, remove from the heat and add the string beans to the water for about 5 minutes. Strain the string beans through a colander and run under cold water.
