Ingredients
1 3/4 pounds green beans, trimmed
3 tablespoons roasted walnut oil
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 heaping teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1 small shallot, thinly sliced into half-moons
2 ounces crumbly blue cheese
Directions
- Blanch the green beans in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender-crisp, 3 minutes. Remove the green beans from the boiling water, run under cold water for a few minutes to stop the cooking, and then drain and dry well.
- Whisk together the walnut oil, vinegar and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Stir in the salt and pepper.
- Add the cool green beans to a large bowl and toss in the walnuts, cranberries and shallots and drizzle in the vinaigrette. Place on a platter or serving dish and sprinkle with the blue cheese.
