Prep:5minCook:20min

Green beans with mustard dressing is one of our favourite French dishes. Here we added some orange zest and marmalade for a subtle zingy flavour. If you don’t have marmalade in your cupboard, you can substitute by chopping up some orange segments and stirring these through instead.
