This lemon and dill vinaigrette is a natural complement to green beans. It's also great tossed with steamed asparagus or drizzled over sliced fresh tomatoes. To make this recipe serve 10, multiply all the ingredients by 2 1/2: Use 2 1/2 pounds green beans, 3 tablespoons dill, 2 1/2 tablespoons each shallot, oil and lemon juice, 2 1/2 teaspoons mustard and 3/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

My boyfriend and I halved this recipe and ate it with Eatingwell.com's Grilled Salmon with Tomatoes & Basil. Though we absolutely loved the salmon, something was off with the green beans. The lemon juice made it a bit too sour, and the combination of ingredients with the dill made my boyfriend comment that it tasted like I'd dumped the juice from a bottle of pickles on the green beans. I think it's probably just a matter of preference, but I'd rather eat my green beans plain than with this marinade.

This is so simple and an easy way to spice up what would otherwise be plain steamed green beans...a great side dish accompaniment with salmon.
