Ingredients
Salt and pepper - To taste
Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
Dijon mustard - 1 tablespoon
Walnuts - 1/4 cup, chopped
Red onion - 1/4 cup, thinly sliced

Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes, until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a large bowl, combine the green beans, blue cheese, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and walnuts.

Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
