Ingredients
  • 2 cups green beans
  • 6 cups of water
  • 4 tbsp table salt
  • Dijon Mustard Sauce:
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp water
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
Instructions
  1. In a large pot, bring 6 cups of salted water to a boil. Separately, combine 1 cup of ice and 3 cups of water in a large bowl or pot and set aside.
  2. Trim the ends of beans (the skinny, tapered ends) with kitchen shears or a knife. Wash the beans thoroughly.
  3. Add green beans to boiling water and cook uncovered for 3 minutes. Drain beans and immediately transfer them to the ice water bowl and leave for 5 minutes. The ice bath helps stop the cooking process.
  4. In the meantime, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, mix Dijon mustard, olive oil, water, and minced garlic.
  5. Drain beans and toss in Dijon mustard sauce.
  6. Keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up 3 days.
