Green Bean Salad With Cherry Tomato Feta

Make a big batch and keep it for days in the fridge. It also holds up well even once dressed – good for lunch boxes and gatherings!

Green Bean Salad

This is a salad that’s ideal for entertaining and meal prep because it can be made ahead. Unlike many salads, you don’t have to worry about wilting leafy greens or chopped vegetables becoming watery. The added bonus is that it’s one of those salads that’s actually quite satisfying. Green beans have that way about them – so much more to them than lettuce!!

What you need

Here’s what you need for this Green Bean Salad. It’s made with a simple Lemon Salad Dressing that’s zingy and slightly thickened with mustard so it clings better to the beans.

How to make Green Bean Salad

As for the making:

Shake dressing in a jar – it’s the best way to really meld the lemon and oil together to create a thick, glossy dressing; Cook beans to your taste (I like mine tender crisp) Then toss with dressing, tomato and onion, then garnish with feta last (if you toss salad with it, it looks messy).

And that’s all there is to it! Serve this on the side of a simple juicy Baked Chicken Breast, a buttery Roast Chicken, with a juicy Pork Tenderloin with Honey Garlic Sauce or with a 5 minute crispy Pan Fried Fish. Add it to your work lunch boxes, or make a big batch on Sunday and serve it through the week! – Nagi x
