Instructions
- In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the green beans and boil for 3 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare a large bowl of ice water and when the green beans are done, strain them and immediately place them right into the ice water to stop them from cooking anymore.
- Drain them from the ice water and place them in a large bowl. Add the grape tomatoes and parsley to the bowl of green beans then toss to combine.
- Pour the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper into a medium jar then seal the jar and shake vigorously to combine.
- Pour in the dressing into the green beans and then toss again to combine. Then gently toss in the feta, until just combined.
- Serve immediately with additional feta crumbles, for garnish, if desired.
