    Ingredients

    • 1 lb fresh baby green beans
    • 8 oz whole wheat pasta, small spiral preferred* (See below)
    • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half
    • ⅓ cup black olives, cut in half
    • 4 scallions, chopped
    • 3 tbsp dill, finely chopped
    • 2 tbsp chives, chopped
    • 3 oz fat-free feta, into 1/2” cubes
    • DRESSING

    • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
    • 2 tsp mustard seed
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Directions

    1. Add green beans to a large pot of boiling water and cook on high for 3 minutes until slightly softened and bright green. Remove beans with a slotted spoon and rinse in a colander under cold water immediately. In the same boiling water (add more water if necessary) cook pasta until slightly softer than al denté. Drain in the same colander and rinse under cold water. Let colander remain in sink, shaking frequently to remove excess water. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk oil, vinegar, garlic, mustard, mustard seed, salt and pepper. Add tomatoes, olives, scallions, dill, chives and cheese to the bean pasta mixture and toss. Add the dressing and toss well. Serve immediately.
