Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trimmed green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they are bright green and crisp-tender.
2. Immediately drain the green beans and rinse them under cold water to halt the cooking process. This step preserves their vibrant color and satisfying crunch.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled green beans, sliced prosciutto, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh basil. Gently toss to mix.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create a tangy vinaigrette.
5. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
6. Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor experience. Enjoy the explosion of fresh tastes!
