  1. Tip and tail GREEN BEANS, cut crosswise in half. Par boil them until just tender, not crunchy but not at all mushy either. Refresh in cold water, drain thoroughly and set aside.
  2. Cut ONION in half lengthwise and slice very thin crosswise.

  6. Mix together Beans, Onions and Walnut Dressing.
