SALAD:

1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup feta cheese

1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon dried basil,

1/4 teaspoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Plunge beans into a large pot of rapidly boiling water. Cook five minutes, or until just tender-crisp. Meanwhile, prepare a large bowl of ice water. Drain beans and plunge into ice water until cool. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. For Vinaigrette: combine lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, basil, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Whisk until thickened and thoroughly blended. Place beans on a serving platter and drizzle vinaigrette over them. Top with red onion, feta and walnuts. Serue immediately or cover and chill for several hours.
