1 1/2 pounds green beans, stringed
2 zucchini squash, 2 inches diameter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon style mustard
2 tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh basil

Cook beans in salted water until crisp tender, about 7 minutes. Cool beans in ice water; drain; set aside. Cut zucchini into 8 (1 1/2-inch) slices. Carve out the centers so that you have rings with 1/4-inch rims.

Steam zucchini rings 2–3 minutes until crisp tender. Immerse rings in ice water and drain well. Poke 8–12 beans through each zucchini ring. Arrange bundles in a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Combine remaining ingredients in a blender and pour over beans. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
