Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans; cook until crisp-tender, about 7 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water (or submerge in a bowl of ice water) to stop the cooking process; drain. Transfer to a bowl.

Step 2

While beans are cooling, combine dill, onion, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in oil to combine. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Gently toss green beans with vinaigrette to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator before serving, 2 hours or up to 3 days.
