Steamed Green Beans with Bacon Vinaigrette

I decided to make a side dish for my family's Easter dinner, and I had a little challenge recipe of my own: make a green bean dish out of whatever was in my parent's kitchen. After flipping through Bittman's book, I decided to make "Just-Tender Steamed Green Beans" (p. 239) with the "Bacon Vinaigrette" (p. 201). I had a few ingredient switches in the vinaigrette, since we didn't have shallots. Instead, I used scallions and added a little bit of whole dijon mustard. This was a super tasty side dish that was really easy. Adding a simple vinaigrette is a great way to jazz up an ordinary vegetable and make it extra special!
