Nice salad using all ingredients from my CSA farm. I used a pomegranate vinegar which added just a hint of sweetness, and, small dice red onion. Mixed up red & yellow heirlooms & cherry tomatoes giving it even more eye appeal.

I was able to find both fresh wax beans and green beans, we unfornately are still not receiving fresh tomoatoes yet, but a great little salad, liked the feta cheese.

I love green beans, and this is a refreshing way to serve them. Fresh wax beans are rarely available in my area, so I used all green beans. Thanks for the recipe.

This contains three of the foods I associate with summer most--tomatoes, green beans, and fresh basil! It is a nice change of pace from other bean salads, and parboiling the beans leads to a great texture. I used tomato-basil feta which added lots of good flavor. I think next time I would also use more vinegar, and perhaps experiment with balsamic vinegar. I could not find wax beans so I made this with all green beans, but I don't think the recipe suffered for it. Thanks for posting! Made for My 3 Chefs 2008.
