Yield: 6 servings
Recipe by luhu.jp

Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs: Green beans,
1/4 cup: Oil-and-vinegar dressing,
Either bottled or home-made,
1/4 tsp: Ground cumin,
1 tbsp: Dijon mustard,
1/2 cup: Coarsely chopped walnuts,
1/4 lbs: Gruyere cheese, finely diced
1/8 tsp: Salt,
Freshly ground black pepper,
To taste,

Directions:

1. Bring a pan of water to the boil. Snap the ends from the beans.
Cut in halves or thirds if very long. Add to the boiling water and
time 5 to 7 minutes, or until the beans are tender. Drain in a
colander and rinse with cold water until cool. Wrap in paper towels
and a plastic bag; refrigerate. (This can be done 24 hours in
advance.)

2. Whisk together the dressing, cumin and mustard. Refrigerate if not
using right away. About 1 hour before serving the salad, combine the
dressing with the beans, walnuts, Gruyere, salt and pepper. Mix
gently. Let marinate at room temperature 1 hour before serving.
