Dijon Green Beans

Jessie and I made these green beans the other day for dinner. I thought they sounded really good, and my mom (who hates green beans) thought they were delicious. When she cleared the table she at the extra green beans, so she must have liked them.

1-1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

place beans in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender.

Meanwhile, for dressing, whisk the vinegar, oil, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Drain beans; place in a large bowl. Add tomatoes and onion. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. Sprinkle with cheese.

I suggest letting the sauce sit on the beans for a bit so they can absorb some of the flavor. I noticed when I made it the onions tasted a lot like the sauce because they had sat in it for longer.
