Ingredients

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts

  • 1 pound French green beans, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

  • ½ cup thinly sliced red onion

  • ⅓ cup dried cranberries

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • ½ cup balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place walnuts on a baking sheet.

  2. Bake in preheated oven until toasted, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 10 minutes.

  3. While walnuts cool, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add green beans and cook, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water; drain again.

  4. Transfer green beans and walnuts to a mixing bowl and add feta, red onion, cranberries, salt, and pepper; gently toss together. Add balsamic dressing to serve.

Cook's Note:

You can use pine nuts instead of walnuts.
