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 David Tanis

Categories     easy, salads and dressings, vegetables, appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and black pepper
3/4 pound green beans, preferably slender haricots verts, trimmed
2 tablespoons lemon juice, from 1 small lemon
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes, mixed colors, halved
2 cups cooked chickpeas (from 1 cup dried chickpeas or 1 15-ounce can), cooled and drained
4 ounces feta, crumbled (1/2 cup)
2 to 3 tablespoons roughly chopped dill, for serving
Pinch of dried oregano, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon salt, then the green beans. Cook until beans are tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer beans to a large bowl of cold water. Drain in a colander and blot green beans dry with a kitchen towel.
  • Make the dressing: In a small bowl, put lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, a pinch of salt and some black pepper to taste. Whisk in olive oil.
  • Make the salad: Add cherry tomatoes, green beans and chickpeas to a large salad bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Add dressing and toss to coat. Add feta and toss once more. Let marinate for 10 to 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  • To serve, sprinkle generously with dill and oregano.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
  • Trim the green beans properly: Cut off the stem ends and any tough strings. You can also blanch the green beans for a few minutes to remove any bitterness.
  • Cook the green beans to your desired doneness: You can boil, steam, or roast the green beans. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Use high-quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is a key ingredient in this salad, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for feta cheese that is creamy and flavorful.
  • Add other vegetables or protein to the salad: You can add other vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, or red onions, to the salad. You can also add protein, such as grilled chicken or shrimp.

Conclusion:

Green bean salad with feta is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect green bean salad that everyone will love.
