Instructions: Steam green beans until crisp-tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Combine beans, cheese, hazelnuts, and onion together in a large bowl. In a cruet, combine olive oil, vinegar, garlic and salt and pepper and shake well. Pour over green bean mixture and toss. Chill until ready to serve. This salad presents very well and is also very tasty. With the onions, slice them very thin and then soak them in cold water for about 25 minutes before adding them to the salad. This will help tone down the strong onion flavor.
