Step 1

Add a few inches of water to a large pot or deep saute pan, just enough to cover the green beans. Bring to a boil, and add the green beans. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until bright green and barely fork tender.

Step 2

Drain the green beans in a colander, then toss while rinsing with cold water to bring down the temperature. Once the green beans are cool, pat dry and transfer to a large bowl. Add red onion and 1/4 cup Italian dressing, and toss.

Step 3

Next add the cannellini beans, tomatoes, a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Taste for seasoning, adding more dressing or salt/pepper, if desired. Serve now, or refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour. Garnish with nuts before serving.
