If the pencil-thin French green beans known as haricots verts are not available at your local super market, use the thinnest regular ones you can find. Ingredients:
12 ounces slender green beans (preferably haricots verts), trimmed |
12 ounces mushrooms, sliced |
4 heads belgian endive, cut crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices |
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
1 1/2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1 fresh chive bunch, sliced |
Directions:
1. Blanch green beans in large pot of boiling salted water until just crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water to stop cooking; drain well. Pat green beans dry. Transfer to large bowl. Add mushrooms and endive.
2. Mix white wine vinegar and Dijon mustard in small bowl. Gradually mix in olive oil. Mix in sliced chives. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover vegetables and refrigerate. Let dressing stand at room temperature.)
3. Pour dressing over vegetables and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
