1 1/4 lb. green beans -- trimmed and rinsed

3 Tbs. fresh lemon juice

2 Tbs. mayonnaise or heavy cream

1 Tbs. minced shallots

3/4 tsp. salt

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

1/2 cup canola oil

Steam the green beans until tender, about 5 min. Meanwhile, in a small bowl,

combine the lemon juice, mayonnaise, shallots, salt, and pepper. Add the oil

Toss the cooked beans with the red pepper and enough vinaigrette to coat,

about 1/3 cup. Serve warm, with extra vinaigrette on the side, if you like.
