Foodie Byte: This dish is ideal for buffets or large gatherings—you don’t even have to worry about keeping it hot because it actually tastes best a room temperature.

Ingredients
3 pounds green beans, trimmed
3 tablespoons walnut oil
1/4 cup tarragon, chopped
1 1/2 cups walnut pieces, toasted
Salt, to taste

Preparation
1. Bring four gallons of water to boil in a large stock pot. Add enough salt so that the water tastes like the ocean. Add green beans and cook until tender. Drain beans and toss in a large bowl with walnut oil, tarragon and 1 cup walnut pieces. Season with salt to taste.
2. Place on a serving platter and top with remaining walnut pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature.
