I always get asked for the recipe…Yummy. This serving size is good for a dinner party. Double the recipe if going to a big party.
Ingredients
- 4 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 1 large clove garlic, minced, or to taste
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ½ cup slivered almonds
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
- ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons chopped red onion, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a jar and allow to blend overnight.
Step 2
Toast almonds in a small dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned, flipping often, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and let them cool completely.
Step 3
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until tender crisp, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water. Drain well, pat dry (you want the bean as dry as possible), and place the beans into a large bowl. Add feta cheese, tomatoes, and red onions; mix to combine.
Step 4
Pour dressing over the green beans and sprinkle with toasted almonds; mix to combine. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.
Cook’s Notes:
It is very important to make the dressing the night before to let all the flavors blend.
