This is an absolute winner. One addition I make is to add homemade grainy mustard to the vinaigrette. My best mustard recipe: http://blog.katescarlata.com/2012/03/12/simple-homemade-grainy-mustard/.
A good, simple, useful recipe. I doubled it but that was too much vinaigrette for half a pound of green beans. Boiled rather than steamed to beans.
This recipe has been around for a while, but I just discovered it. It is a fantastic summer side dish. I thought it actually improved in the refrigerator, and would make it ahead next time for effortless dining.
Add potatoes along with the mustard.
