Assemble salad
- Place beans in a bowl with tomato and onion. Drizzle with dressing, then toss. Garnish with feta. Serve!
Notes
- To make ahead / store - keep dressing separate, salad can remain in fridge for 3 to 4 days. Once dressed, it's still lovely the next day - unlike other salads, it doesn't die into a watery mess!
- Makes enough to serve 6 people as the primary side salad at a meal. At a gathering with other sides, it will serve 10 to 14.
