In a small jar with a lid combine:
– 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
– 1/2 cup olive oil
– juice of half a lemon
– 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
– two to three cloves crushed garlic
– about a half teaspoon each of salt and fresh ground pepper

Shake jar vigorously.

Directions:

1. In a large bowl combine cooled green beans and balsamic dressing.
2. Delicious if eaten immediately, and also great if left to marinate for a few hours., or even a few days.
