Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 1 pound fresh green beans
  • ⅓ cup toasted walnuts, (chopped)
  • ⅓ cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • pinch of salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped herbs ((chives, basil, etc))

Instruction

  • Start by blanching the green beans. Prepare an ice bath - fill a large bowl with ice and cold water.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the green beans and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Use a strainer to immediately transfer the beans to the ice bath. Let them chill in the bath for 5 minutes. Pat the beans dry with a paper towel.
  • Place the beans on the plate and give them a light sprinkle of salt and pepper. Drizzle on the dijon dressing. Top with the crumbled blue cheese and walnuts. Serve immediately. This is incredible cold - like leftovers right out of the fridge.
