Green Bean Salad with Toasted Seeds & Nuts
Cutting the green beans into tiny slivers completely changes the taste and texture of something so familiar! This dish is crunchy and bright, nutty, and tart with lemon juice and parsley, and will quickly become a weekday staple.

This great recipe comes to us from Farmhouse Delivery!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound green beans
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • small handful Italian parsley
  • 2 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
  • 3 Tbsp sliced almonds, toasted
  • 1/4 c chevre, crumbled
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp white wine or champagne vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp whole grain mustard
  • 1/3 c olive oil

Instructions

Step 1

Remove stems from green beans and slice crosswise into 1/4″ “coins.” Blanch by adding to rapidly boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunging into ice water. Let sit in ice water for about 10 minutes, then drain and dry.

Step 2

Place beans in a bowl, and add minced shallot, parsley, sesame seeds and almonds. Set aside.

Step 3

In a smaller bowl, whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and shallots. Continue whisking while slowly drizzling in olive oil until dressing is emulsified.

Step 4

Add dressing to green beans and toss to coat evenly.  Place on serving piece and top with crumbled goat cheese.
