Ellie Krieger's Green Bean Salad






What a delicious recipe! This recipe seems very healthy, with the smallest amount of dressing I've ever seen on vegetables. But it works! The other flavors (the earthiness of the toasted walnuts, the bite of the red onion and vinegar, and the fresh, sunny flavor of the parsley) all marry well with the crunchy green beans. Here is the link.

Ingredients:
1/2 lb green beans, trimmed
2 tbsp chopped walnuts
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 tbsp chopped red onion
2 tsp walnut oil or olive oil
1 tsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
salt and pepper

Directions:
Bring a large pot of water with a steamer basket to a boil, add green beans and steam for about 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Toast the walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat until they become fragrant, about 2 minutes, and then transfer them to a small bowl to cool. Add the parsley and onion to the walnuts and stir to combine.

In another small bow, 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.
