Servings: 4

Ingredients

Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons
Fresh parsley
1/4 cup, finely chopped
Feta cheese
1/2 cup, crumbled
Cherry tomatoes
1 cup, halved
Red onion
1/2 cup, finely chopped
Chickpeas
1 can (15 oz.), drained and rinsed
Green beans
1 lb., ends trimmed

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and simmer until they are crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain the beans and immediately rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. In a large salad bowl, combine the blanched green beans, chickpeas, chopped red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh parsley.
  3. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
  5. Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
  6. Serve chilled. Enjoy this refreshing salad on its own or as a side dish to your favorite Greek main course.
