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.
