                            <li>In a bowl, cover red onion with cold water and chill for at least 30 minutes; drain. This takes some of the bite out of eating raw onion.</li>
                                    <li>In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook beans until tender, about 2 minutes. Immediately place beans in a pot of ice water to halt cooking process. Drain and place in a large bowl along with onion, carrots, parsnips, and red pepper.</li>
                                    <li>To make dressing, place olive oil, vinegar, hazelnuts, lemon zest, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender and blend until just slightly chunky. Blend in water, 1 tbsp at a time, if needed to help with blending and to reach desired consistency. Toss dressing with vegetables and then gently stir in eggs and dill.</li>
