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.Reply
