Simple Green Bean Tomato Salad

Ana Coronado
July 5, 2021
This Simple Green Bean Tomato Salad is refreshing and full of flavor. This is a great alternative to mayo-based salads.  Crisp-tender green beans with fresh tomatoes, the bite of red onion, and fresh herbs in a simple balsamic dressing, and topped with salty Feta cheese. I like toasted walnuts on my salad, but this is totally optional! This is the perfect summer salad.
