Pre heat a fan forced oven to 180 ℃ and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Spread walnuts onto the baking tray and bake for 5 minutes (just enough to release the oil in the walnut). Remove from the oven and allow walnuts to cool on the tray.
Bring a pot of water to the boil, add the green beans and cook for three minutes. Drain and immediately run under cold water or plunge into an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Drain again and then dry beans thoroughly with a tea towel.
Put green beans on a serving dish and dress with olive oil, red wine vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper and then toss to ensure beans are well coated.
Break up the goats cheese with your fingers and crumble over the beans, then top with toasted walnuts and serve immediately.
