Ingredients
- 2 lbs of green beans, trimmed
- 6 slices of bacon
- 1/2 of a cup of yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of whole grain mustard
- 1/2 of a teaspoon of sea salt
- 1/4 of a teaspoon of black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the green beans and cook for 5 minutes. Drain the beans into a colander and place under cold water for 20 seconds.
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, leaving the bacon drippings, and chop them into 1-inch pieces.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat, and cook the onions in the bacon drippings for 5 minutes (or until tender). Reduce the heat to low, and add the vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper, stirring until fully combined. Add the green beans and the bacon pieces, and mix well. Serve and enjoy!
