Ingredients

Toss the beans with the vinaigrette just before serving, so the lemon juice
doesn’t turn the green beans a drab color
Instructions
Blanch wax beans and green beans in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain beans and immediately plunge into ice water; drain beans again.
Combine oil, lemon juice, sugar, thyme, and Dijon; season with salt and pepper.
Toss beans and onion with vinaigrette to coat. Serve salad at room temperature.
For crisp-tender texture and to heighten their color, briefly boil the wax beans and green beans.
To prevent overcooking, shock the beans in a bowl of ice water as soon as they're blanched.
