Ingredients

• 1/2 pound green beans trimmed, rinsed
• 1/2 pound yellow beans trimmed, rinsed
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
• 2 teaspoons minced red onion
• 1 spring garlic clove minced

• 1/4 teaspoon sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• Freshly-ground black pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Using a steamer, or a saucepan or wok with a steamer insert, steam the beans until they are tender but still crunchy, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and pat dry.

Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, onion, garlic, tarragon, sugar and salt. Pour the vinaigrette over the beans and toss to coat.

Spoon the beans onto a serving platter. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
