Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Fresh Green Beans trimeed
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1 lemon Juiced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Mustard
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 small Red Onion diced
  • 2 cups Grape Tomatoes halved
  • 5 ounces Feta Cheese

Instructions

  • Place the beans in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the beans. Put the pot on the stove and turn on the heat to high until the water starts to boil. Once it is boiling, cover the pot and let the beans cook for about 8 to 10 minutes. You want them to be a little tender but still have some crunch.
  • When they are done, carefully pour the beans into a strainer to drain the hot water. Quickly transfer the beans into a bowl of ice water. This helps them cool down quickly and keeps them crisp. Once they're cooled, drain them again and place in a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, garlic, mustard, and pepper. This will be the dressing for the beans.
  • Pour the dressing over the beans and add the chopped onion. Give everything a good mix so the beans and onion are coated with the dressing. Put a lid or cover over the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Let it sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Right before serving, take the bowl out of the fridge and add the chopped tomatoes and cheese. Mix everything together one more time and serve.
