Photo: Green Bean Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- 1 pound slender green beans, ends trimmed
- 1 cup feta cheese crumbles
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the green beans and cook until tender crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Use a spider to remove to a bowl of ice water. Drain well, pat dry and place the beans in a large bowl. Combine with the feta cheese, tomatoes and red onions.
Toast the almonds in a small skillet, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate.
Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, basil, garlic and some salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the green beans and sprinkle with the toasted almonds. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.

I LOVE this recipe!!! It's such a light dish to make for the summer but it also works for Thanksgiving dinner, just leave the feta off!! This recipe started my love of green beans!

Prepared as a side dish for Thanksgiving Dinner. My husband loved it, said it was addictive...We had the next day with grilled spare ribs...I will definitely make again, but next time will cook green beans a little bit longer. I added Agave Nectar to my dressing, it was Wonderful..I can't wait to try with lettuce and all the fixin, without the green beans...This is a keeper...Thanks Jamie

Oh. My. Gosh! This is wonderful! I couldn't leave the salad alone. Good thing it is full of veggies. With the farmers market in full swing it is a crisp, fresh salad to have anytime. Thank you! Love the show and recipes!
