Ingredients

2 tablespoon - 2 tablespoons minced shallots
2 tablespoon - 2 tablespoons low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon - 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 teaspoon - 2 teaspoons hot honey, or to taste
2 teaspoon - 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
½ pound - 1/2 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed
salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Whisk shallots, chicken broth, vinegar, hot honey, and Dijon together in a small bowl. Set aside.
Bring about 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. The water should not touch the bottom of the steamer insert. If it does, pour out a bit of the water. Place the steamer insert with the green beans into the saucepan, cover, and cook until crisp tender, 5 to 8 minutes, or longer for softer green beans.
Place green beans in a bowl, drizzle with the dressing, and toss until well coated. Season with salt and pepper, and serve either warm or chilled.
