Ingredients

3 cups green beans
2½ tablespoons Balsamic Vinaigrette
¾ cup halved cherry tomatoes
¼ cup thinly sliced shallots
6 or 7 basil leaves
2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1 quart-size Mason jar

Instructions

Trim the ends from the green beans; cut the beans in half crosswise. Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat (don’t salt the water), add the beans, and boil for 5 minutes. Transfer the beans to an ice-water bath for a minute to stop the cooking process and preserve their color. Drain. When the green beans have cooled, layer the salad ingredients in the Mason jar, beginning with the vinaigrette and continuing with the tomatoes, shallots, cooked beans, basil leaves, and feta cheese. Seal and refrigerate until ready to use.
