This is by far my favorite way of eating my green beans, and I know you’ll love it too.
Ingredients
Beans:
1 lb. green beans, rinsed and trimmed
3/4 – 1 C pecans or walnuts, chopped and toasted *For toasting, I drizzle 1 Tbsp honey over the top of the nuts, spread onto a tin-foil covered baking sheet, and bake at 350 degrees for 5-6 minutes
1/3 cup feta cheese
Dressing:
3/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
2/3 c. white wine vinegar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. dill weed spice
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Instructions
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees and prepare your toasted pecans or walnuts. (Instructions for toasted nuts above.)
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add green beans and boil for ~7 minutes or until tender. Don’t overcook! Rinse with cold water and dry. Store in refrigerator while finishing pecans and dressing.
3. For the dressing, add all ingredients into a bottle and shake until well combined.
4. Combine green beans, pecans, and feta in a medium bowl and add dressing to taste. I never quite use all the dressing, but maybe 3/4 of it. Save the rest for salad dressing! You want just enough to cover all your beans, but not a huge pool of liquid at the bottom of your serving tray.
ENJOY!
