Green Bean Salad

I made this the other day, added feta cheese, and I think it would be great with hard boiled egg as well. It's really yummy!

Green Bean Salad, by Ellie Krieger of the Food Network

Makes four servings (one serving is ½ cup)

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 pound green beans, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
• 2 teaspoons walnut oil (or olive oil)
• 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
• Salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

Bring a large pot of water with a steamer basket to a boil, add green beans and steam for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl. Toast the walnuts in a small dry skillet over a medium heat until they become fragrant, about 2 minutes, and then transfer them to a small bowl. Add the parsley and onion to the walnuts and stir to combine. In another small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar and mustard. Toss the dressing with the green beans, top with the walnut mixture and season with salt and pepper.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
