This gorgeous greek green bean salad is fresh, crisp, and bursting with flavor and ready in just 15 minutes!Double, triple, or quadruple the recipe as needed; it's sure to be a hit!
In a small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, garlic, parsley, oregano, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Trim ends off green beans and cut in half, if desired.
Fill a medium pot with water and set to boil on high.
Set aside a medium bowl of ice water.
Once water is at a rolling boil, add green beans and cook for 3-5 minutes or until they reach your ideal tenderness. I like mine al dente; softened but still crisp!
Drain and immediately submerge beans in ice bath to halt the cooking process.
Combine green beans with red pepper and tomatoes and toss with dressing to coat.
Top with crumbled feta and fresh parsley to garnish.
Dive in now or set aside for later! This salad can be made in advance and left out at room temperature for several hours without the feta and up to 4 hours with the feta. For saucier green beans, allow salad to sit and soak up the delicious dressing, marinade-style! Or you can do what I did and scarf some right away while leaving the rest to marinate a bit. Enjoy!
