Green and Yellow Bean Salad with Chunky Tomato Dressing and Feta Cheese
Lee Harrelson
Best Salad. Buy the freshest beans you can find for this simple dish. Then combine them with sherry vinegar, extravirgin olive oil, fresh basil, and good-quality feta cheese for a stellar summer salad. --Recipe by Jack Bishop (June 2001)
How to Make It
Step 1
Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cook the beans in boiling water for 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse with cold water; drain.
Step 2
Combine tomato and next 4 ingredients (through pepper) in a bowl. Divide beans evenly among 8 plates. Top each serving with 1/4 cup tomato mixture. Sprinkle each serving with 1 tablespoon sliced basil and 1 tablespoon cheese.

This was very very good, but I think I might change out the vinegar next time to balsalmic. I wanted a little bit more flavor, but then sherry vinegar pickings around here were very slim, so I think perhaps I didn't have a good one. I also thought it needed a little more salt, but that could be because I used goat cheese instead of feta (which is rather salty). All in all, I would make again. Very quick and easy and versatile.
