Steamed Green Beans with Lemon Vinaigrette

Ingredients:

1-1/4 lb. green beans, trimmed and rinsed
3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise or heavy cream
1 Tablespoon minced shallots
3/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup canola oil or grapeseed oil (cold pressed)
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper

Preparation:

Steam the green beans until tender, about 5 min. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, mayonnaise, shallots, salt, and pepper. Add the oil in a slow stream, whisking constantly until the vinaigrette is well blended. Toss the cooked beans with the red pepper and enough vinaigrette to coat, about 1/3 cup. Serve warm, with extra vinaigrette on the side, if you like. Makes 4 Servings.
