This has been a family favorite for years! I add red onion slices.

I cut the recipe down to one serving because I was using up leftover green beans and about 1/2 of a large tomato, so this was perfect. It made a good amount for two side servings, with a little left over. I didn't have white vinegar so just used regular balsamic, also substituted red onion for the shallot, and we had no feta but that would have been wonderful. Thank you!

This was delicious! Was looking for a new cold side dish and this hit the spot! Swapped out the shallots for red onion and used grape tomatoes.

So simple yet so good! My husband even raved about it. I used red onion instead of shallot and grape tomatoes as it's what I had on hand. Dressing is delicious... light and refreshing. I am going to make this with asparagus next.

Followed this recipe to the letter and it is DIVINE. Thank you for helping me find a way for my green bean-hating husband to enjoy them! Makes a terrific lunch with some cold chicken or meat on the side.

Perfect summer salad! Left out the shallots cause I did not have any at hand but will add them next time. I grated the garlic instead of mincing it - I prefer it grated in dressings
