Ingredients
- 500 grams Green beans
- 100 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Toasted almonds, slivered (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Step 2
Trim the ends of the green beans and add them to the boiling water. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until just tender but still crisp.
Step 3
Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and maintain their bright color. Drain again and pat dry with a clean towel.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked green beans, crumbled feta, thinly sliced red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Step 5
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 7
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the salad for a fresh burst of flavor. If desired, add slivered toasted almonds for a crunchy finish.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Let the salad come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
