Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trimmed green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they are bright green and crisp-tender.
2. Drain the green beans and immediately rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process and preserve their vibrant color.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled green beans, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh basil.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
5. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
6. For the best flavor, cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld.
7. Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing burst of flavors!
