Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce, optional
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 celery rib, thinly sliced
  • 1 hard-cooked large egg, chopped

Method

  • In a 6-quart stockpot, bring 12 cups water to a boil. Add green beans; cook, uncovered, 2-3 minutes or just until beans turn bright green. Remove beans and immediately drop them into ice water. Drain and pat dry.
  • In a large bowl, whisk vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and, if desired, hot sauce. Gradually whisk in oil until blended. Add vegetables and toss to coat; chill until serving. Sprinkle with chopped egg.
