GREEN BEAN RED ONION SALAD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Trim the green beans.
• Bring 1/4 cup of water to a boil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the beans, sprinkle with salt, cover, and cook until the beans are crisp-tender and the water is evaporated, about 3 minutes.
• Rinse the beans with cold water, pat them thoroughly dry, and set them aside.
• Meanwhile, peel and halve the onion. Slice it into thin half-moons and set aside. (Rinse the slices with cold water to minimize the strong flavor of raw onion , if you like, just be sure to pat them thoroughly dry before you add them to the salad.)
• In a large bowl (large enough to toss all the vegetables), whisk together the oil, vinegar, and mustard. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Put the cooked beans and the sliced onions in the bowl with the dressing and toss to coat the beans and onions thoroughly.
• You can serve right away or let everything sit and marinate a bit before serving (if you're going to hold it more than about an hour, cover and chill).
