Enhanced Green Bean and Salmon Salad

Ingredients

• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)
• Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon)
• Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
• Lemon juice (2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed)
• Fresh dill, chopped (2 tablespoons)
• Feta cheese, crumbled (1/2 cup)
• Kalamata olives, pitted and halved (1/3 cup)
• Red onion, thinly sliced (1/4 cup)
• Cherry tomatoes, halved (1 cup)
• Salmon fillets (2 (6-ounce) fillets, cooked and flaked)
• Green beans, trimmed (1 pound)

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trimmed green beans and cook until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Drain the green beans and immediately rinse them under cold water to halt the cooking process and preserve their vibrant color.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched green beans, flaked salmon, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh dill.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create the dressing.
5. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly.
6. Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature, garnished with extra dill or feta if desired.
