This salad is best served cold or at room temperature. If you can’t find fresh tarragon, fresh dill and parsley also work well.
Ingredients
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1½ tbsp favorite vinegar
1½ tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp honey
2 tsp finely chopped fresh tarragon
¼ tsp black pepper
⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp salt
12 oz green beans, trimmed
12 oz yellow beans, trimmed
Whisk oil, vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, honey, tarragon, black pepper, and cayenne in large bowl. Set aside.
Bring 4 quarts water to boil in Dutch oven. Add salt and beans. Cook, uncovered, until beans are slightly tender but still crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain beans and transfer to bowl with dressing. Toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days. Serve.
