Green Bean and Feta Salad

Ingredients

1 CSA bag green or purple beans (approx. 1 lb)

1 hard boiled egg, peeled and crumbled

1/4 cup of feta, crumbled Parsley or chives, chopped

Dressing:

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon vinegar

1 small onion

1 teaspoon mustard

Salt and pepper

Directions

Blanch the green beans whole for 2-3 minutes or until tender (up to 5 minutes if they are mature – taste a bean from time to time to check for tenderness). Drain and rinse to cool. Set aside. Place all dressing ingredients in a food processor or chopper and blend until creamy. Cut the beans in 1-2 inch segments. Toss together beans, hard boiled egg, feta and dressing. Garnish with some chopped parsley or chopped chives if available. Serve cool or at room temperature.
