Green Bean Salad With Gruyere and Walnuts

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs	681g / 24oz	Green beans
1/4 cup	59ml	Oil-and-vinegar dressing
		Either bottled or home-made
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Ground cumin
1 tablespoon	15ml	Dijon mustard
1/2 cup	73g / 2.6oz	Coarsely chopped walnuts
1/4 lb	113g / 4oz	Gruyere cheese - finely diced
1/8 teaspoon	0.6ml	Salt
		Black pepper - freshly ground
		To taste

Recipe Instructions

Bring a pan of water to the boil. Snap the ends from the beans. Cut in halves or thirds if very long.

Add to the boiling water and time 5 to 7 minutes, or until the beans are tender.

Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water until cool. Wrap in paper towels and a plastic bag; refrigerate. (This can be done 24 hours in advance.)

Whisk together the dressing, cumin and mustard. Refrigerate if not using right away. About 1 hour before serving the salad, combine the dressing with the beans, walnuts, Gruyere, salt and pepper.

Mix gently. Let marinate at room temperature 1 hour before serving.
