1 lb. fresh green beans
3 tbsp. olive oil
3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 shallot (minced)
2 tbsp. red pepper (minced)
1 tbsp. dill (minced)
1/8 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Wash and trim ends of green beans but leave whole. Cook the beans in boiling water for about 5 minutes (they should still be crisp). Refresh immediately in cold water, drain and set aside.

Combine all remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour over beans and refrigerate 1 hour before serving. Best served cool, not cold.
