Ingredients

4 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 large clove garlic, minced, or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup slivered almonds
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons chopped red onion, or to taste

Steps:

Whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a jar and allow to blend overnight.
Toast almonds in a small dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned, flipping often, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate and let them cool completely.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until tender crisp, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water. Drain well, pat dry (you want the bean as dry as possible), and place the beans into a large bowl. Add feta cheese, tomatoes, and red onions; mix to combine.
Pour dressing over the green beans and sprinkle with toasted almonds; mix to combine. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/2 lb fresh green beans
175 g plain yogurt (a little over half a cup)
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (I used Greek herbed)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper
2 medium tomatoes, sliced
5 -6 kalamata olives, pits removed & rough chopped, more if you wish

Steps:

Steam the green beans for about 5 minutes or until tender crisp. I like to leave them whole but they can be used cut in one inch lengths; set aside.
In a small bowl mix together yogurt, feta cheese, parmesan cheese & pepper.
Taste and adjust seasoning; do not salt, the cheese & olives are quite salty; set aside.
In a small casserole or au gratin dish, layer green beans and tomato slices, starting with green beans, as you go cover each tomato layer with a thin coat of the yogurt mixture. Finish the layers with the yogurt mixture. Scatter the chopped olives over all.
The dish can be served cold as a salad at this point or if you prefer a hot side dish bake in 400°F oven for approximately 20 minutes until heated through, either way it is delicious.
