Green Beans with Onions and Warm Mustard Vinaigrette - Tasty, Fast, and Easy

There seems to be no end of tasty and easy green bean sides.This one, with onion and warm mustard vinaigrette is from myrecipes.com, and originally came from Cooking Light magazine. We really enjoyed it. 

The only change I made was to use 1/2 pound of green beans instead of 1 & 1/2 pounds. That was because there were only two of us. I did not change the amount of sauce. Since I like lots of sauce, that worked fine. 

The original recipe, from http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/green-beans-red-onion-with-warm-mustard-vinaigrette, is below.

Ingredients

1 & 1/2 pounds of green beans, trimmed (I cut the green beans into bite-size pieces prior to cooking.)
1 cup vertically sliced red onion
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Cook green beans in boiling water fro 6 minutes or until crisp-tender, and drain. Combine the green beans and onion in a large bowl.

Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper; cook over medium heat for 30 seconds or until thoroughly heated, stirring vinaigrette constantly with a whisk.

Drizzle vinaigrette over bean mixture; and toss well to coat. Serve immediately.
