Ingredients

  • 8 oz green beans
  • 4 eggs
  • 6 cups mixed salad greens
  • 4 radishes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the 4 eggs in a small pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, then turn off heat and let sit 9 minutes. Drain and cool under cold water, then peel and halve.

  2. 2

    Trim the 8 oz green beans and pat dry. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Add the green beans in a single layer and fry, turning occasionally, until blistered and tender, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper until combined.

  5. 5

    In a large bowl, toss the 6 cups mixed greens and 4 thinly sliced radishes with the dressing until lightly coated.

  6. 6

    Divide the greens among plates, top with the fried green beans and halved eggs. Serve immediately.

  7. 7

    Optional: add a spoonful of tapenade or a few anchovy fillets for extra flavor.
