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.
