White String Beans, Tomatoes and Feta Cheese Salad

I like the simple way this salad is made with big and clean flavour. White sting beans have delicious delicate flavors and is a perfect vegetable to use in salads and many side dishes.

Bring a pot to simmer and drop your beans in. Keep testing it takes about 7 minutes to cook it al dente (to still have some bite to it). Cooking times varies depending on the quality of the bean. Once ready drain it and shock with cold water to stop cooking process completely. It is also a perfect snack option for kids and adults!
When ready to assemble your salad cut beans in half, chopped small tomatoes or if using grape size tomatoes add it whole. Then add fresh feta cheese in big chunks. To dress the salad add a little of salt (remember Feta is pretty salty) . Add extra virgin olive oil and rice vinegar. I don't like using dressing for this salad just oil and vinegar to make the clean taste of it more pronounced.


Enjoy!
