Categories     Onions

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lbs green beans
1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1/3 cup herbal tarragon vinegar (Herbal Vinegar with Tarragon)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 red onion, thinly sliced
freshly chopped tarragon, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In a saucepan over high heat in 1 inch of water, heat green beans to boiling.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 5-10 minutes or until green beans are tender crisp; drain.
  • In a bowl combine the mayonnaise, tarragon vinegar, salt, mustard and pepper; mix well.
  • I like to put the green beans and sliced onions in a large zip-lock bag (less clean up) along with the tarragon dressing mixture, fumbling for dressing to coat green beans.
  • If you don't have a large zip-lock bag you can place the green beans and sliced onions in a large dish and toss to coat with the tarragon dressing.
  • Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours hours for flavors to blend before serving.
  • Garnish with freshly topped tarragon.
  • Serve and Enjoy!
