How to Make Green Bean And Walnut Salad

  1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of trimmed green beans to the boiling water.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the beans are crisp-tender.
  4. While the beans cook, whisk together the dressing ingredients (see below) in a small bowl until well combined.
  5. Once cooked, drain the green beans in a colander and rinse immediately under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  6. Drain the beans thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  7. Transfer the green beans to a large shallow serving bowl.
  8. Pour the dressing over the green beans.
  9. Gently toss to coat the beans evenly with the dressing.
  10. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts over the salad.
  11. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
