Preparation
- Step 1
Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon salt, then the green beans. Cook until beans are tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer beans to a large bowl of cold water. Drain in a colander and blot green beans dry with a kitchen towel.
- Step 2
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, put lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, a pinch of salt and some black pepper to taste. Whisk in olive oil.
- Step 3
Make the salad: Add cherry tomatoes, green beans and chickpeas to a large salad bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Add dressing and toss to coat. Add feta and toss once more. Let marinate for 10 to 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
- Step 4
To serve, sprinkle generously with dill and oregano.

This looks beautiful and delish! To make it more of an entree salad, I’d include grilled shrimp. Crusty French bread and a glass of crisp, white wine and dinner is served!
So glad to see the suggestion of using a kitchen towel rather than paper towel!
Best salad I've had in ages! 2 small changes. Used veggie grill basket & coated beans with olive oil, kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Grilled till some char on beans. Grilled extra large shrimp with Za'atar. Cooled beans and shrimp. Cut shrimp in half and beans in thirds. Everything else per recipe. An absolutely incredible meal! Oh, and a little more feta. Never too much feta. Thanks so much Mr. Tanis!
added shrimp per others' suggestions. chef's kiss!! 👩🍳
I started making this as soon as I saw the recipe and then realized I didn't have chickpeas! I did have small white beans on hand and they made a perfect substitution. Nice texture that takes the dressing well.
I followed the recipe exactly (including the use of dried chickpeas rather than canned) and it was really delicious. My only complaint is that leaving the green beans long made it difficult to get all the flavors into a single bite. But at the same time leaving them long made for a really beautiful plating. I can see this being a great template recipe: chickpeas or white beans, assorted veggies, dressing, crumbled cheese, herbs.
