Green Bean and Hazelnut Salad

This vibrant green bean and hazelnut salad is a sophisticated vegan side dish that celebrates fresh, seasonal produce. The snap of blanched green beans pairs beautifully with the earthy crunch of toasted hazelnuts, while a trio of oils creates a complex and nutty dressing. It is a light yet satisfying dish that brings a bright, textural contrast to any dinner table, especially when served alongside roasted vegetables or plant-based proteins.

Nutritionally balanced and naturally gluten-free, this salad is an excellent choice for those seeking a heart-healthy vegan recipe. The inclusion of flaxseed and hazelnut oils adds a depth of flavour and essential fatty acids, making it as nourishing as it is delicious. You can easily prepare the beans and dressing in advance, making it a stress-free option for busy midweek meals or weekend entertaining.

Ingredients for Green Bean and Hazelnut Salad

  • 30g hazelnuts (2 tablespoons )

  • 350g green beans, trimmed and halved diagonally

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons grainy mustard

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

How to make Green Bean and Hazelnut Salad

Preheat oven to 163°C with rack in middle.

Toast nuts in a small baking pan until centres are golden, 15 to 20 minutes (cut one open to test for doneness). Cool to warm, then rub off any loose skins in a kitchen towel. Coarsely chop nuts.

Cook beans in a 6-quart pot of boiling salted water (1 1/2 tablespoons salt for 3.8L water) until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Drain and pat dry.

Whisk together mustard, vinegar, and sea salt in a bowl, then add olive, flaxseed, and hazelnut oils, whisking. Add beans, nuts, and onion and toss well. Season with salt and pepper.

Beans can be cooked 1 day ahead and chilled (once cool) in a plastic bag lined with paper towels. Dressing can made and chilled up to 5 days ahead.
