Green Beans in Walnut Vinaigrette
Blanched green beans are tossed warm in a toasted walnut vinaigrette with fresh dill for a savory side that pairs with roasted chicken, salmon or makes a standout Thanksgiving dish.
Green beans and nuts are a classic pairing. Here, beans are blanched and tossed while still warm in a savory walnut vinaigrette, so they take on all of the flavors. Chopping the nuts finely makes sure they coat all of the beans, and toasting them first in olive oil draws out their rich nutty qualities. Dill pairs beautifully with green beans and is added at the last moment so it maintains a fresh grassy taste. This salad can accompany main dishes like roasted chicken or salmon, and is also perfect for the Thanksgiving table.
