Green Beans with Feta and Dill

I found this green beans with feta and dill recipe on Cooking on the Side. We all enjoyed these green beans, and both of my kids asked for seconds! I loved the dill flavor and thought it paired nicely with some razor clams and garlic rice.

Green Beans with Feta and Dill

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp shallot, minced
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
• 1 lb. fresh green beans, ends trimmed
• ¼ small red onion, sliced thinly   ***Soak the slices in ice water for 10 minutes, then dry on a towel, if they are too strongly flavored.
• Feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

How to Make Green Beans with Feta and Dill

In a small glass jar, add the chopped shallot, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; whisk well, and set aside to let the flavors mingle.

Place the green beans in a large pot of well-salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes.  Side Note: I like mine tender but still crisp.

Drain the water and immediately plunge the green beans into a bowl of ice water to stop them from cooking and preserve their bright green color. Drain and place on a towel to dry thoroughly.

Place the dried green beans in a serving dish.

Add the sliced onion and fresh dill.

Drizzle on the well-whisked salad dressing to taste. Toss until evenly coated.

Sprinkle the top with feta cheese.

Serve and enjoy.
