This salad was one that my Dad would make for all of our family gatherings. He has added a few ingredients over the years that has made this salad even better. When ever I make it it reminds me of great family memories.
Ingredients
1 pound fresh green beans trimmed and cut in half
1 pound asparagus cut the same size as green beans (when in season)
1 pound cherry tomatoes cut in half
3 Tb olive oil
1 Tb fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
12 Basil leaves chopped
3 oz Feta cheese
1/4 cup pine nuts
Cook the green beans and asparagus (when in season) in boiling water or steam until just tender. Cool immediately in cold water and allow to dry in colander. Transfer into serving bowl and add tomatoes.
In small bowl whisk olive oil into lemon juice, pour over green beans and tomatoes. Add feta cheese, basil and pine nuts. Salt and pepper to taste. Toss to lightly coat
Serves 6
