Instructions
Spread nuts out on a baking pan and bake until golden under skins (break one to test), 10 to 15 minutes. When nuts are cool enough to handle, rub in a kitchen towel to remove as many skins as possible. Chop coarsely and set aside.
In a 4- to 6-quart pot over high heat, bring 3 quarts salted water to a boil.
Add green beans and cook until just crisp-tender, 4 to 7 minutes.
Drain in a colander and plunge beans into a bowl of ice water to cool.
Drain again and set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together the mint leaves, lemon peel, lemon juice, and salt to make the dressing.
Drizzle in the hazelnut oil, whisking constantly.
In a large bowl, gently toss the beans with dressing and hazelnuts.
Serve at room temperature.
Wine pairing: A slightly oaked version of Sauvignon Blanc
