Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Blanch the green beans in boiling, salted water for 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and cool completely under cold water. Shake off excess water. Place the beans in a large serving bowl. Add the red pepper and the minced onion and toss well.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt and the black pepper in the cider vinegar. Add the olive oil in a slow stream while whisking constantly. Pour this vinaigrette over the vegetables. Add the fresh dill and toss very well. Refrigerate overnight.

  3. Step 3

    Bring the beans to room temperature half an hour before serving. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Top with crumbled bacon and serve at room temperature.
