1/2 lb. green beans, washed and trimmed
2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
1/4 lb. oil-cured black olives, pitted and cut in half
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Salt the water, and add the green beans. Cook until bright green and tender, 3-4 minutes. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to cool. Drain and cut in half. Combine beans with sliced cucumbers, olives, and parsley in a medium bowl. Combine mustard, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Slowly add olive oil, whisking constantly until well combined. This may also be done in a food processor. Toss dressing with vegetables just before serving.
