I agree with the previous reviewer, way too sweet and maybe I should have read that post before making this dish. I can see how the addition of the yellow mustard would make it much better. I will not make it again - didn't really like the flavors together. I also rushed it and toasted the mustard seeds over high but it still took much longer than about 1 minute for the mustard seeds to start to pop. And they weren't crunchy for some reason like another reviewer mentioned. Hmmmm, maybe I should give this another try? But then again it did leave an overly sweet odor in the kitchen. I think if one likes these types of flavors and with the modifications mentioned it would be a "keeper"!!

Ingredients
- 2 pounds green beans, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons mustard seeds
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup rice vinegar
Preparation
- To make it...
- Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Drop in the green beans and cook, uncovered, 5 to 7 minutes or until tender but still crisp. Drain. (Can be made ahead to this point. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Place in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate.) Dry the saucepan and return it to the stove. Toast the mustard seeds over low heat just until they pop, about 1 minute, stirring to prevent scorching. Add the honey and vinegar and cook until the sauce boils and becomes syrupy. Add the green beans and toss.
- To fake it...and save 15 minutes
- Thaw three 9-ounce packages whole green beans under warm running water. Place in a skillet with 1/2 cup bottled honey-mustard salad dressing. Over medium heat, toss until heated through, adding more dressing if necessary to lightly coat all the green beans.
