When green beans are in season, it’s also the time to find truly sweet-fleshed onions, such as Vidalia and Walla Walla. This vinaigrette brings out the sweetness of the onions and makes the best of fresh summer beans.Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh green beans
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ large sweet onion, such as Vidalia or Walla Walla, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Remove the top and the tail of the green beans, and slice in half diagonally.
