    I prepared this salad on thanksgiving evening, and everybody liked it! The tangy flavors and crunch of this eye-appealing side complement any special meal or holiday potluck. Also, the best part is that you can prepare it ahead.

    Ingredients

    • 2 lbs. fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-1/2 in. pieces
    • 1/4 cup olive oil
    • 3 Tbsp lemon juice
    • 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
    • 1/4 tsp. salt
    • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
    • 1/4 tsp ground mustard
    • 1/8 tsp. pepper
    • 1 large red onion, chopped
    • 4 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
    • 1 cup (4 oz.) crumbled feta cheese

    Directions

    1. Place beans in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and immediately place beans in ice water. Drain and pat dry.
    2. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, garlic powder, mustard and pepper. Drizzle over beans. Add the onion; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Just before serving, stir in tomatoes and cheese.

        This dish serves a crowd. If you end up with leftovers, mix them with cooked pasta and diced turkey breast for a speedy lunch or dinner.
