Ellie Krieger steams fresh green beans and then enhances their flavor with walnuts, red onion, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard for a fantastic, easy side dish that won’t bust your blood glucose bank. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound green beans, trimmed
- 2 tbsp chopped walnuts
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 2 tbsp chopped red onion
- 2 tsp walnut oil or olive oil
- 1 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Bring a large pot of water with a steamer basket to a boil,
add green beans and steam for about 4 minutes. Steaming is better than boiling as it preserves flavor and freshness. Transfer to a serving bowl.
Toast the walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat
until they become fragrant, about 2 minutes, and then transfer them to a small
bowl to cool. Add the parsley and onion to the walnuts and stir to combine.
In another small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar and
mustard. Toss the dressing with the green beans, top with the walnut mixture
and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Blessed be... and happy cooking!
