Photo: Green Bean Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
- 2 teaspoons walnut oil or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon 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 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.

This was delicious...I didn't have any parsley so I used everything but that, and it was still super yummy..my husband and father in law went nuts over it. I think the walnuts make this salad!

I made this for a Potluck at work.. It was tasty. Some people liked it more than others. It was my first time ever making a green bean salad so I was little timid with the ingredients. Next time I will put a little more "me" into it. But definitely a recipe to keep. Thanks Ellie

This was a great use of my late summer garden green beans. At first I thought the dressing would be inadequate, but it was the perfect amount. The parsley brightens it up and the walnuts make it feel rich and special. I made a batch and divided it into 2 servings, packed them up to bring for lunch this week. For WW points counters, this is 2 points per serving, and a great side dish for lunch at the office.
