This recipe was originally published in 1996 and is in our hall of fame. Green beans get a punch with feta cheese, dill and garlic and a crunch by adding walnuts. Ingredients:
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed |
1 small purple onion, thinly sliced |
1 (4-ounce) package crumbled feta cheese |
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans, toasted |
3/4 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup white wine vinegar |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill |
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Cut green beans into thirds, and arrange in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam 15 minutes or until crisp-tender. Immediately plunge into cold water to stop the cooking process; drain and pat dry.
2. Toss together green beans, onion, cheese, and walnuts in a large bowl. Cover and chill 1 hour.
3. Whisk together olive oil and next 5 ingredients; cover and chill 1 hour.
4. Pour vinaigrette over green bean mixture, and chill 1 hour; toss just before serving.
