Very tasty and easy to modify. Meaning, I used Garlic EVOO and skipped the dry mustard because I didn't have. Goes together fast.

The dressing for this salad was very bland for our taste. I added bottled Balsamic Vinaigrette to convince my family to eat this.

I thought it needed more dressing. I would double the dressing amount next time.

My husband doesn't care for Feta Cheese, but said this was good. Will definitely make it again.

This recipe went over well with the entire family! My husband summed it up best by saying "this is a keeper", an odd combination that works well together. This will be a "summer staple"

Loved this salad. I left the beans uncooked and they had a great crunch to them. My husband said I could make that again anytime soon.

Needed more vinegar or something as it was bland. The feta cheese did taste good but my husband does not like it so he totally lost out on this recipe.

good, but nothing special. if not using top grade balsamic, i used moderate, i found it a little too tangy for my taste. needed a little bit of sugar.

Made this for a pot luck Friday night and it was delicious. Everyone at the pot luck wanted the recipe. The only problem with the recipe was that the leftovers turned a sad brown color, but were still delicious. Perhaps this could be prevented by using a white balsamic vinegar. This will definitely go into my keeper file.

I think that the Large red onion is too much onion! I suggest a medium, tops. I added some truvia about a 1/2 teas to the dressing to cut the bitterness. I also added some sunflower seeds which added a nice crunch and a dash of saltiness.

Microwaved the beans (both green and yellow) for 3 minutes only instead of the dutch oven.Decided to try it warm as a side with fish. Fabulous blend of flavors. Popped the leftovers in the fridge to marinate overnight. Just as good cold! Because of the low calorie count I'll use this all the time!

I found this recipe last year and made it numerous times. I can't seem to get enough of it! I like using chopped fresh tomatoes instead of the cherry tomatoes. The juice from the cut up tomatoes really adds flavor to the dressing.

Skip the Dutch Oven, just cook the thinks 'al dent. (Sp?) But the ice water is a given to cut off the cooking process.

Yield: 16 servings. Horse Feathers ... make that 8 - 10; Folks munching this will clean the bowl. As to "3 Tablespoons of BV," leave the bottle on the table. Suspect folks will want to 'up the anti.'

Ran into a shop (apparently a 'national chain' of called "Oil and Vinegar," in of all places Missoula, Montana. Lordie do they have 'good things' along the line of 'now that's something I've never seen before.' Cost me close to $100.00 to get out of there with 'concoction' this or that.

End game, don't have one of them around? EXPERIMENT, 8 out of 10 could be killer; Just make a bit, taste test and ???

Ooops..... and I also add coursely chopped FRESH basil! That makes the salad!

Good.... but I make a recipe similar to this that everyone prefers over this recipe. I use the blanched green beans, red & yellow cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, also add red, orange, and/or yellow bell peppers, and instead of feta cheese (which we don't care for) I use fresh mozzarella 'pearls'. The dressing is Good Seasons Italian made from the dry mix in the packet using the low oil directions on teh box. Put cheese and all veggies in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve, then toss with as much of the Italian dressing as you care to use to coat. VERY yummy!

We love this recipe! So simple yet delicious. I cut it in half for my family and also used frozen green beans instead of fresh. It's been added to my list of favorite, "stand by" recipes!
