--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      lb            Green beans -- trimmed
   1      ts            Dijon-style mustard
   1      tb            White-wine vinegar
     1/4  c             Olive oil
   3      tb            Fresh mint leaves -- minced
     1/2  c             Red onion -- finely chopped

In a kettle of boiling water cook the beans for 2 to 4 minutes, or
until they are crisp-tender, transfer them with a slotted spoon to a
bowl of ice and cold water to stop the cooking, and drain them well.
Pat the beans dry with paper towels and chill them, covered, for at
least 3 hours or overnight.

In a large bowl whisk together the mustard, the vinegar, salt, and
pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the
dressing until it is emulsified. Add the beans, the mint, and the
onion and toss the mixture until it is combined well.
