Ingredients

  1. Kosher salt
  2. Ice
  3. 8 ounces fresh green beans (about 2 cups), washed and cut in half
  4. 1/4 cup sherry vinegar
  5. 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  6. 1 tablespoon honey
  7. 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  8. One 15-ounce can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  9. 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  10. 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
  11. 1 shallot, minced
  12. Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Set up a large bowl of ice water. Add the green beans to the pot and cook until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and plunge the green beans into the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain the green beans.

The addition of basil and honey makes this recipe stand out! Delicious! I actually tried this with fermented honey (subbed in for the honey and vinegar) and it was amazing.
