Instructions

Beans

Combine the beans, oil, vinegar, salt, garlic, and black pepper to taste. Mix gently, cover, and chill.
Stir in the fresh herbs within ten minutes of serving. Top each serving with Pickled Red Onions and walnuts.

Pickled Red Onions

Put up a kettle of water to boil.
Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, water, sweetener-of-choice, salt, and peppercorns in a bowl and stir until sugar is dissolved.
Place the onion slices in a large bowl. When the water boils, pour all of it onto the onions and let them sit for 5 minutes, causing them to wilt slightly. Drain well and transfer the onions to the marinade.
Cover and marinate – at room temperature or in the refrigerator - for at least several hours (but can be days or weeks as well). Store in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator. This keeps indefinitely!
