1/4 cups chopped celery
1/4 cups chopped sweet onion such as Vidalia, Walla Walla, or Maui

1 tablespoon honey Dijon mustard

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a small saucepan of boiling salted water cook beans until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain beans and plunge into a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Remove beans from water and pat dry with paper towels.
