Haricot Verts with Walnuts

Have you heard about the fastest, healthiest Thanksgiving side dish? No? Well, allow me to introduce you. Meet haricot verts (pronounce air-co-vair.) These little French green beans are fresh, delicious, and the perfect addition to any fall menu.

I made this last Thanksgiving, and it’s such a quick dish to prepare that I made it while all the other dishes were being plated.

Last week I went to a local downtown farmers market and was delighted by this delicious find from Winter Park Honey.

I always buy local, raw honey, and usually it’s an orange blossom flavor or tupelo. I had never tried blackberry honey before! It is so unique, yummy, and I highly recommend it. It, along with my other market purchases inspired me to make a farmers market salad. And of course, every good salad needs a delicious homemade dressing!
