Yields4 ServingsPrep Time20 minsCook Time7 minsTotal Time27 mins

Ingredients

 ½ batch Vegan Feta (link in Chef’s Notes)
 1 batch Creamy Lemon Dijon Dressing (link in Chef’s Notes)
 4 cups green beans (ends trimmed, cut into 2” pieces)
 ¼ cup red onions (diced)
 ½ cup almond slivers
 salt (optional) to taste
 ground black pepper (optional) to taste

Directions

1

Make the Vegan Feta and set aside.

2

While the vegan feta is simmering, make the Creamy Lemon Dressing and set aside.

3

Heat a large stovetop pot filled with enough water to cover the green beans over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and cook for 5–7 minutes (depending on how tender or crisp you prefer your green beans). Drain and rinse with cold water (to stop the beans from cooking further) and set aside.

4

Assemble your salad: Add the green beans, Vegan Feta, red onions, and almond slivers to a large bowl. Drizzle half of the dressing over top and stir until combined.

5

If you’d like more dressing then add 1–2 tablespoons at a time until you reach the desired amount. Otherwise, transfer the remaining dressing to an airtight container or mason jar and keep in the fridge and add more as desired as you enjoy this salad for days to come!
