Green Bean, Walnut, and Feta Salad
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.
How to Make It
Step 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.
Step 2
Toss together green beans, onion, cheese, and walnuts in a large bowl. Cover and chill 1 hour.
Step 3
Whisk together olive oil and next 5 ingredients; cover and chill 1 hour.
Step 4
Pour vinaigrette over green bean mixture, and chill 1 hour; toss just before serving.

Very good salad. We used goat cheese instead of feta and I think this would be really good with a blue cheese. Easy to make, but make sure you realize the time requirements. (One hour apart then another hour together.) Delicious. Refreshing.

Easy to make. Served it at a party and everyone LOVED it and asked for the recipe. Used pecans instead of walnuts. Served it with a baked ham.
