  1. Combine all the dressing ingredients in a glass jar with a fitted lid. Season to taste, and then shake well, until mixed. Set aside until needed. Blanch the beans in a pan of salted boiling water for 1 minute, and then drain and refresh in cold water.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced Brussels sprouts, green beans, shallot rings, walnuts and Parmesan. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Arrange the salad on four plates (or on a large serving platter). To serve, crumble over the Gorgonzola.
