Ingredients

▢ 2 pounds green beans ends trimmed, cut into 2- to 3-inch pieces

Instructions

Trim the ends of the fresh green beans and cut into roughly 2- to 3-inch pieces.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, and add the green beans. Cook for 7 minutes, then drain immediately, and place in ice water to stop cooking.
Lightly saute the onions in olive oil.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked green beans, onions, dill, Italian dressing, and feta cheese. Toss to combine.
Refrigerate for two hours prior to serving. Can be made ahead of time the day before.
Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week. Serve cold.

Notes

Be sure not to overcook your green beans; we still want them to have a nice bite for this green bean and feta salad.

You can use the onions raw if you wish. Add some extra flavor to the salad with cherry tomatoes or toasted almonds.
