Ingredients

8 servings

•

4 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
•

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
•

2 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh basil
•

1 large clove garlic, minced, or to taste
•

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

•

½ cup slivered almonds
•

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
•

¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
•

1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions

Whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a jar and allow to blend overnight.
Toast almonds in a small dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned, flipping often, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and let them cool completely.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until tender crisp, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water. Drain well, pat dry (you want the bean as dry as possible), and place the beans into a large bowl. Add feta cheese, tomatoes, and red onions; mix to combine.
Pour dressing over the green beans and sprinkle with toasted almonds; mix to combine. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.
