Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender.
- Drain the green beans and place them in a bowl of ice water to cool. Place on a paper towel and pat dry.
- Add the green beans, tomatoes, onion, feta cheese, olives and herbs to a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano and salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat, then serve.
Notes
- You can make this salad with any type of fresh bean such as wax beans, romano beans or even French haricot vert green beans.
- Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to thinly slice your red onion.
- I like to purchase a block of feta cheese and crumble it myself rather than using crumbled feta cheese.
