A light and refreshing salad made with crisp green beans, juicy cherry tomatoes, and tangy feta cheese, tossed in a simple vinaigrette. Perfect as a summer side dish or a healthy lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb green beans, trimmed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to cool quickly, then drain again.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the green beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese to the bowl. Toss gently to coat with the dressing.
  4. Sprinkle with chopped herbs if using, and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Blanching the green beans helps preserve their bright color and crunch.
  • Use multi-colored cherry tomatoes for extra visual appeal.
  • Add kalamata olives or toasted nuts for more texture and flavor.
  • Best enjoyed the same day but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
