TOMATO-GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS, FETA AND DILL
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.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green in color and snap easily when broken. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans: Remove the stem ends of the green beans by snapping them off or cutting them off with a knife. You can also trim the ends of the beans if they are particularly long.
- Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Sauté the green beans: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the green beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through and slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the feta cheese: Crumble the feta cheese over the green beans and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Season to taste: Season the green beans with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
- Serve immediately: Green beans with feta are best served immediately. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course with a side of bread or rice.
