Dina Deleasa Instagram – Honestly, haricot verts are almost interchangeable with green beans in my world. They are a bit thinner and more “refined.” They have a slightly earthier flavor if you will. Whatever the case, they are crispy and served at room temperature with this delicious vinaigrette featuring sherry vinegar and shallots. It takes about 7 minutes to put together!
Sherry vinegar may not be something you have on hand. So if you buy it for this recipe you can also use it in summer soups like gazpacho. It is great to use in steak marinade or when you are working with chicken thighs. It will open up a whole new world of flavor. The same applies to the mint and tarragon. They are great herbs to have on hand for dishes as the weather gets warmer!
1 lb green beans cleaned and trimmed
2 tbsp chopped shallots
4 tbsp sherry vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp chopped fresh mint
1 tsp chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 tsp kosher salt (more salt depending on your taste)
1/8 tsp black pepper
3 tbsp olive oil
In a small bowl combine shallots, sherry vinegar, and sugar together. Set aside
Bring a large pot water to a boil. Prepare a large bowl of ice water . Add the haricots verts to the boiling water and cook for 4 minutes or until bright green and tender-crisp.
Drain the haricots verts (green beans) and quickly plunge them into the ice water. Let sit for 2 minutes or until cool; drain. Pat dry and place in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over top and toss.
Add the mint, tarragon, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Whisk until well incorporated. Add half of the mixture to the bowl with green beans, toss to coat. Plate the green beans and add remaining mixture to the top.
