GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH HOT MUSTARD DRESSING



Green Bean Salad With Hot Mustard Dressing image

Hot mustard powder brings a sharp, spicy twist to traditional mustard vinaigrette, which complements sweet green beans well. The beans are blanched until crisp-tender, then tossed in the vinaigrette while still hot. As the beans cool, they absorb all the flavors of mild shallot, fragrant garlic, tangy rice vinegar and hot mustard. Rich, roasted pecans add nutty sweetness to balance the spicy dressing. Though the salad can be made a few hours ahead, you'll want to top it with the nuts right before serving to preserve their crunch. The beans themselves can be served at room temperature or chilled.
