How to Make Green Bean Salad With Tomatoes And Feta
- Bring several quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add 1 pound of green beans and salt to taste.
- Cook until crisp-tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Drain the green beans in a colander and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Gently pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- While the beans cool, prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 finely chopped shallot, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the green beans have cooled to room temperature, add them to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to combine.
- Add 1 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes (halved if large) to the salad and gently toss again.
- Crumble 4 ounces of feta cheese over the salad.
- Serve immediately.
- **Optional Variations:** For added richness, use 1 tablespoon walnut oil in addition to the olive oil. For a heartier salad, add 1/3 cup toasted and coarsely chopped walnuts and 2 ounces of crumbled goat cheese just before serving.
