Instructions

How to cook it

Prep timer

35:00
  1. Set a large skillet or saute pan over medium to medium-high heat and keep the ingredients close so the cooking stays fast and even.
  2. 1. Trim the ends from the green beans, then cut them into 2-inch pieces.
  3. 2. Steam the bean pieces for about 5 minutes until barely tender-crisp, then immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process.
  4. 3. Drain the beans thoroughly in a colander while you slice the onion into thin strips and halve the olives.
  5. 4. Whisk together the white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, Greek seasoning, and black pepper to create the dressing.
  6. 5. Combine the drained beans, sliced onions, and halved olives in a bowl, pour the dressing over everything, and toss to coat evenly.
  7. 6. Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese just before serving.
  8. 7. For best flavor development, chill the salad for several hours before adding the feta, though it's delicious served immediately.
  9. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
