Instructions

To prepare the lemon-mint dressing:

Add the salad dressing ingredients to a small blender and blend until smooth. Keep sealed in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

To prepare the Walnut Salad:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the chopped green beans. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
Immediately transfer the green beans to an ice bath in order to stop the cooking. Once cooled, strain the beans into a colander and pat dry.
Add the blanched green beans, walnuts, feta, and red onion to a large serving bowl. Mix in desired amount of lemon-mint dressing and add salt to taste.
