Ingredients:

Serving

2 lbs green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths
3/4 cup pecan halves
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
salt
fresh ground black pepper

Directions:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat.
Add in the beans and cook for about 3 minutes or until crisp-tender.
Rinse well under cold running water and drain.
Spread beans out on paper towels and pat dry; let cool completely.
Spread pecans out on a baking sheet.
Place baking sheet on the center rack in a 350° oven.
Bake for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until toasted and fragrant.
Let cool completely.
Coarsely chop 1/4 cup of the pecans and set aside.
Add the remaining 1/2 cup of pecans, balsamic vinegar, and red wine vinegar to the container of an electric blender.
With the blender running, gradually add the oil to make a smooth vinaigrette.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the green beans with the vinaigrette in a large bowl.
Transfer to a serving platter or bowl; sprinkle with reserved chopped pecans.
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
