Follow The Directions

01

Step
3 mins

Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. (3-5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Immediately transfer the green beans to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve their vibrant color. Drain well. (2 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chopped parsley, minced shallot, and garlic. (2 minutes)

04

Step
3 mins

In a large bowl, combine the blanched green beans and chopped tomatoes. Pour the vinaigrette over the top and toss gently to combine. (3 minutes)

05

Step
1 mins

Gently stir in the crumbled feta cheese, being careful not to crush it. (1 minute)

06

Step
20 mins

Allow the salad to sit for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving. This can be done at room temperature or in the refrigerator. (20 minutes)

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the vinaigrette.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs, such as mint or dill, to customize the flavor profile.
If you don't have white balsamic vinegar, you can substitute red wine vinegar or lemon juice.
For a heartier salad, add some grilled chicken or chickpeas.
This salad is best served chilled or at room temperature. It can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
