Ingredients

• 3/4 cup pecans
• kosher salt and black pepper
• 2 pounds green beans, trimmed
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400º F. Spread the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing once, until toasted, 6 to 8 minutes. Let
cool, then roughly chop.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon salt. Add the green beans and cook until just tender,
4 to 5 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to cool.

In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add the green
beans and pecans and toss to combine.
