Follow The Directions

01

Step

Whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a jar and allow to blend overnight.

02

Step

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.

03

Step

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.

04

Step

Pour dressing over the green beans and sprinkle with toasted almonds; mix to combine. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.

For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the green beans briefly before adding them to the salad.
If you don't have fresh basil, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of dried basil.
The salad can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. The flavors will meld together even more.
