Preparation
Drain flageolet beans, put them in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Reduce heat, add bay leaf, thyme and onion and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until beans are tender.
Drain beans and remove herbs, leaving onion. Pour into a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
To make dressing, mix oil, vinegar, mustard and honey. Season with salt and a generous quantity of pepper. Pour over beans and sprinkle with parsley and chopped nuts.
Gently mix in crumbled Canadian Bénédictin or Canadian Ermite cheese and serve at room temperature. Accompany with Treviso or lamb's lettuce.
