Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup minced shallot
3 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar plus 2 teaspoons sherry wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped of fresh mint
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus additional (for sprinkling)
1/3 cup dried tart cherry
1 1/2 lbs trimmed slender green beans (such as haricots verts)
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted, chopped

Steps:

  • The technique: For crisp-tender vegetables, boil them quickly, then dump them into a bowl of ice water. The rapid boil cooks the veggies just enough; the ice water stops the cooking and intensifies the color of the vegetables.
  • Whisk first 6 ingredients and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in small bowl. Mix in dried cherries; set aside. DO AHEAD Vinaigrette can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature; rewhisk before using.
  • Fill large bowl with water and ice; set aside. Cook green beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain. Transfer to bowl with ice water; cool. Drain. (DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap in paper towels; enclose in resealable plastic bag and chill. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before continuing.).
  • Toss green beans, walnuts, and vinaigrette in large bowl. (DO AHEAD Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Transfer to platter and serve.

Tips:

  • Select tender string beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when bent. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Blanch the string beans: Blanching helps preserve the color and crispness of the beans. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the vinaigrette in advance: The vinaigrette can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts brings out their flavor and adds a nice crunchy texture to the salad. To toast the walnuts, spread them out on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  • Assemble the salad just before serving: The salad is best when served fresh. Combine the beans, walnuts, raspberries, and vinaigrette in a large bowl and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Conclusion:

String beans in walnut and raspberry vinaigrette is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for summer. The beans are crisp and tender, the walnuts are crunchy, and the raspberries add a pop of sweetness. The vinaigrette is light and tangy, with a hint of sweetness from the honey. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
