Fresh and fast, this side salad pairs crisp-tender green beans with a mix of vegetables, cooling fresh mint, a homemade lemony vinaigrette, and creamy, tangy crumbled feta cheese. And, it’s ready in less than 25 minutes. While the green beans cook on the stovetop, you can prep the rest of your ingredients. You will need one lemon to yield enough zest and juice for the dressing. The salad can be prepared up to 1 hour ahead. For a more subtle onion flavor, soak the onion in red wine vinegar for about 30 minutes, then drain well, and add it to the salad.
