I love to make this Green Bean Salad with Feta for barbecues or summer cookouts. The combination of crisp tender green beans and creamy salty feta cheese is a winner with everyone! This salad is a great accompaniment for grilled fish or meat.
To make this salad, I start by cooking green beans until crisp-tender. Make a dressing from shallots, garlic, Dijon, vinegar, salt, and pepper and olive oil. Combine the cooked green beans with tomatoes and walnuts. Crumble over feta cheese and serve at room temperature or slightly warmed.
To make this version of Green Bean Salad with Feta, you will need the following ingredients:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add green beans. Cook the green for about 3 minutes until crisp-tender. Once cooked, transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain and set aside to cool.
Slice the beans in half crossways and set to one side.
Combine 2 tablespoons of finely minced shallots, garlic, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons of vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk in olive oil slowly and set the dressing aside.
Combine the green beans with tomatoes and walnuts in a large serving bowl. Toss well with the dressing until evenly coated.
Crumble over the feta cheese and serve.
This Green Bean Salad with Feta is a delicious salad which goes well with meat, fish or on its own! Try it out soon and please leave a comment to let me know what you think.
