Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces rustic raisin-nut bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (2 cups)
Coarse salt
1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons minced shallot (from 1 to 2 shallots)
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus small sprigs for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange bread cubes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing once, until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook green beans until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain; return beans to pot.
  • In a small saucepan, mix together shallot, mustard, and vinegar, then whisk in oil in a slow, steady stream. Heat mixture over low, whisking constantly, just until warm.
  • Toss beans with vinaigrette, toasted bread, and chopped dill. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Transfer to a platter, garnish with dill sprigs, and serve.
