Green beans combined with bell pepper, plum tomatoes, vidalia onion, feta, and mint make for a flavorful side dish. Lemon zest and oil make a light, bright dressing, and convenient, frozen green beans shave off prep time. This salad is perfect for a light lunch, and you can turn it into a hearty dinner paired with some grilled chicken or salmon. Garnish with extra mint and lemon zest, if you'd like.
