1/2 lb. green beans 2 Cippolini onions
1 1/2 Tbl. creme fraiche 2 Tbl. toasted hazelnuts

Blanch green beans in hot salted water until they turn bright green. Remove from water and combine in a bowl with julienned Cippolini onions, creme fraiche, toasted hazelnuts and parsley.

Serve green bean salad topped with warmed crottin cheese and roasted beets on the side. Serves 4.
