Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

2-4 lbs fresh green beans (or combo of peas and beans)
1-2 green onions
2-4 tbsp fresh basil or dill
2 tbsp feta

Dressing

1 tbsp garlic (minced)
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 cup olive oil
1/2 cups white wine vinegar
2 tbsp lemon

Process

Blanch beans by adding to boiling water for 2-3 minutes, and then immediately transferring to a cold water ice bath. (We used a combination of green beans and peas, but you could use one or the other.)
Prepare the dressing by mixing the garlic, Dijon, salt and pepper. Slowly add oil, and mix well. Add lemon and vinegar. There will be more dressing than needed so dress beans as desired, adding herbs and cheese.
