TOMATO-GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS, FETA AND DILL



Tomato-Green Bean Salad With Chickpeas, Feta and Dill image

This is a perfect salad for summer, when the market is chockablock with great produce. Use whatever tomatoes are sweetest, and feel free to add yellow wax beans or romano beans in addition to green beans. If your market has fresh shelling beans, use those instead of chickpeas. Plan ahead to soak dried chickpeas overnight. With a soak, they only take an hour to cook, and taste better than canned ones.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds green beans, trimmed
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 cups quartered cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup sliced scallions
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Cook beans in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain in a colander; run under cold water to stop cooking.
  • Whisk oil with vinegar and mustard; season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss beans with vinaigrette, tomatoes, scallions, and feta.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green in color and free of blemishes. Avoid beans that are limp or wilted.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the tough ends of the green beans before cooking. You can do this by snapping them off or using a sharp knife.
  • Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans in boiling water for a few minutes helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green in color. Immediately remove the beans from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Cook the green beans: You can cook the green beans in a variety of ways. You can sauté them in olive oil, steam them, or roast them in the oven. If you are sautéing the beans, be sure to cook them over medium heat until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
  • Add tomatoes and feta cheese: Once the green beans are cooked, add them to a bowl with chopped tomatoes and feta cheese. Toss to combine and serve.
