Green Bean Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

It’s definitely winter in Wisconsin!  Good thing we preserved a lot of veggies from the garden.  As you work your way through the homegrown goodies in the freezer try this recipe with that bag of green beans you found stashed behind all that tomato sauce!

Recipe:

• 12-16 oz.  green beans, cooked (fresh or frozen)
• 1 oz. feta cheese chopped or crumbled
• ¼ cup minced red onion or shallot
• ¼ cup toasted walnuts, chopped
• 1 T. olive oil
• 1 T. lemon juice
• ¼ tsp. salt, or to taste
• 1 tsp. lemon zest

Mix the olive oil, lemon juice and salt together in a large bowl then add the green beans, red onions and lemon zest.  Toss lightly and scrape into a serving bowl. Top the bean mixture with feta and walnuts.  Enjoy!
