Green Bean and Blue Cheese Salad image

This recipe was voted a keeper by the whole family the first time I served it years ago. I like to put the beans and seasoning together in the morning, or even the day before, then add the blue cheese right before serving this salad.-Donna Cline, Pensacola, Florida

I'm not a fan of blue cheese, so I used crumbled goat cheese instead. It was a great substitute and the salad was still very tasty.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the walnuts. The salad was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with them.
