I made these to go with my Easter dinner. I changed it up a little. All the ingredients are the same. Instead of putting the oil and vinegar in the pan and heating I roasted the nuts in a dry pan then mixed with the rest and tossed the beans in it. They were wonderful!

Making this tonight for the 4th time. It's the only thing I ever want to do with green beans!

Didn't imagine something this easy could taste so great! French beans and walnuts really go wonderfully together. Next time, I'll stir the beans into the sauce, instead of the other way round... that way none of the beans get left out Also Bergy, all your veggie recipes that I've tried have that uncanny "don't-you-dare-cook-me-for-a-second-longer" crunch that's pretty darn out of this world... thanks a ton!
