**Marinated Green Bean Salad: A Refreshing and Flavorful Summer Side Dish**

When the summer sun is shining and the days are long, there's nothing quite like a refreshing and flavorful salad to cool you down and satisfy your taste buds. Our marinated green bean salad is the perfect dish for any summer gathering, potluck, or backyard barbecue. Made with crisp green beans, tangy red onion, and a zesty marinade, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.

The marinade for this salad is what really makes it special. It's made with a blend of olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, and it infuses the green beans with a delicious flavor. The salad is also incredibly easy to make. Simply blanch the green beans, toss them with the marinade, and chill them for at least 30 minutes. You can also make the salad ahead of time, which makes it a great option for busy weeknights.

In addition to the classic marinated green bean salad, we've also included two variations on this recipe. The first variation adds roasted red peppers and feta cheese for a more Mediterranean-inspired flavor. The second variation uses a creamy dill dressing instead of a vinaigrette for a richer, more decadent salad. No matter which variation you choose, you're sure to enjoy this delicious and refreshing summer side dish.
