Walnut Haricots Verts
4

Serves 4

Walnut oil gives a touch of elegance to this easy-to-prepare side dish that goes well with Spaghetti Aglio e Olio or other authentic Italian fare. Haricot verts are a French variety of green beans that are very thin, stringless and have a very nice tender crispness. You can easily substitute other green beans, if desired.
