I love these Green Beans with Warm Raisin-Caper Dressing. The beans are blanched, quickly drained and then tossed with capers, golden raisins, whole-grain mustard and sherry vinegar. You could use this vinaigrette on other vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, etc. It would also be delicious on salmon.

Cook: 15 mins

Ingredients

1 pound green beans, trimmed

¼ cup golden raisins

1 tablespoon sherry vinegar

1 tablespoon capers, chopped

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

3 tablespoons toasted pepitas, or toasted slivered almonds

Directions

1Bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil. Working in batches, cook 1 pound green beans until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes per batch. Add raisins during the last 30 seconds of cooking. Drain and transfer to a platter.  

2In a bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, oil, and capers. Season to taste. Toss beans and raisins with dressing and pepitas; serve.
