Categories     Vegetable

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds green beans, cut in half
1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1 cup diced red onion
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Dressing:
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves, chopped fine
1/4 cup white wine vinegar or tarragon vinegar
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Bring 2 quarts salted water to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the green beans and cook them until they are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain the beans and plunge them immediately into ice water to stop their cooking. Drain them again and pat them dry. 2. Transfer the beans to a shallow serving bowl. Sprinkle with the walnuts, onion, and feta. Chill well. 3. Make the dressing: Combine the oil, mint, vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a lidded jar and shake to blend. Pour the dressing over the bean mixture, toss thoroughly, and serve.

My favorite time to make this salad is early summer, when green beans are super fresh and tender. I especially like to use haricots verts, which are small French green beans that are incredibly sweet.
