Instructions

Boil a large pot of water and prepare a bowl of ice water. Trim the ends of the green beans.
Cook the green beans in boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes until tender yet bright green. Transfer to the ice water for 2 minutes, then drain in a colander.
In a bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, and olive oil.
Slice the cherry tomatoes and shallot.
Pat the blanched green beans dry. In a large bowl, combine the green beans, dressing, cherry tomatoes, shallot, arugula, salt, and feta cheese. Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate before serving. It stays fresh in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.

Notes

For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese.
Feel free to add other vegetables or nuts for extra crunch.
This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
