Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans trimmed
- 1 Tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes cut in half
- 1 small shallot very thinly sliced
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 Tablespoons minced fresh basil
Honey Mustard Vinaigrette
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add salt and 4 quarts of water to a large pot. Bring to a rolling boil. While the water is coming to a boil, add ice and water to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Immediately remove the beans and plunge into the ice water long enough to cool completely, 15 to 30 seconds. Drain the green beans in a colander.
- Blend all the vinaigrette ingredients to make the dressing. Add the beans, tomatoes, and shallot to a serving dish. Pour over the dressing and toss to combine.
- Right before serving sprinkle on the cheese and basil.
