  3. In a large bowl, combine the blanched green beans, radishes, 1 cup chopped cucumber, 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved), 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of agave nectar, and 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat.
  6. Just before serving, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice over the salad.
