Trim the ends of the green beans and blanch in boiling water until bright green, about 3-4 minutes.

Drain the green beans and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking.

In a large bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Add the cooled green beans to the bowl and toss to coat with the dressing.

Slice the prosciutto into strips and add to the salad.

Peel and quarter the hard-boiled eggs and gently fold into the salad.

Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle over the salad for garnish.

Thinly slice the red onion and add to the salad.

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them in as well.

Crumble feta cheese over the top of the salad.

Sprinkle capers and chopped walnuts for added texture.

Toss everything gently to combine before serving.
