Equipment

  • Glass jar
  • Large pot

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp minced shallot
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
  • 1 lb. fresh green beans ends trimmed
  • ¼ small red onions sliced thinly
  • Feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped

Instructions

  • In a small glass jar, add the chopped shallot, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; whisk well, and set aside to let the flavors mingle.
  • Place the green beans in a large pot of well-salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes.  Side Note: I like mine tender but still crisp.
  • Drain the water and immediately plunge the green beans into a bowl of ice water to stop them from cooking and preserve their bright green color. Drain and place on a towel to dry thoroughly. 
  • Place the dried green beans in a serving dish. 
  • Add the sliced onion and fresh dill.
  • Drizzle on the well-whisked salad dressing to taste. Toss until evenly coated.
  • Sprinkle the top with feta cheese. 
  • Serve and enjoy.
