Yellow, OR Wax beans make a great salad.
Boil beans until soft, in salted water. Drain and let cool.
Make Sauce Moutard. Take 1 TB spoon Dijon mustard, plus 2 cloves of finely
minced garlic, salt and pepper. Add 5 TB spoons of red wine vinegar and
stir. Add 10 TB spoons of olive oil and vigorously stir. Note the
wonderful emulsifying effect of Dijon mustard.
Spoon sauce over room temperature beans and eat with bred.
Sauce also works with sliced tomatoes, hard boiled eggs or string beans.
Enjoy
