Green Bean and Cherry Tomato Salad image

I found this recipe in Cooking Light a couple years ago. My family loves it and I make it all year long, not just in the summer. In a pinch, I have even made this using Trader Joe's frozen baby french green beans. This salad is always a big hit. Try to use a good quality red wine vinegar, like a cabernet vinegar, it really makes a difference.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with a more flavorful dressing.

I'm not a big fan of green beans, but I really enjoyed this salad. The cherry tomatoes and feta cheese really balance out the flavor of the green beans.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover green beans. I always have a few extra after I make a big batch of green bean casserole.
