What You'll Need

3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill (optional)
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 pound fresh green beans
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted
1 small purple onion, thinly sliced
1 (4-ounce) package crumbled feta cheese

What to Do

Combine first 6 ingredients; cover and chill.
Wash beans; trim ends, and remove strings. Cut beans into thirds, and arrange in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam 10 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender. Immediately plunge beans into cold water to stop the cooking process; drain and pat dry.
Combine beans, walnuts, onion slices, and cheese in a large bowl; toss well. Cover and chill.
Pour oil mixture over bean mixture 1 hour before serving; toss just before serving.

Notes

Tart feta cheese and earthy toasted walnuts go great with crisp fresh green beans. To toast the walnuts for this recipe, bake them in a shallow pan at 350 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes or until toasted, stirring occasionally.
