Haricots Verts and Horseradish Salad

Ingredients

Cooking Directions

Put the water in a large saucepan, add salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the beans and cook for 2 minutes. Remove them from the water and shock in an ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain and pat dry.

In a small mixing bowl whisk together the horseradish, sour cream, mayonnaise, onion and garlic, then season with the Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Toss the haricots verts with the horseradish mixture. Season again with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours.

To serve, mound the beans on a serving platter. Sprinkle with the bacon and eggs and parsley.
