Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 pounds green beans (, trimmed)
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallot
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese

Instruction

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until they are bright green, about 4 minutes. (This keeps the beans crisp and crunchy, but for more tender beans cook them closer to 8 minutes, or until they are to your liking.) Transfer the green beans to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Let cool, then drain them and blot dry with a towel.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, shallot, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and several grinds of black pepper.
  • Arrange the green beans and cherry tomatoes in a serving dish. Pour the vinaigrette over the top and toss. Top with the feta.
  • Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
