Green Beans with Lemon And Feta
These green beans with lemon and feta are a refreshing, flavorful side dish but also make a great lunch on their own! One of my favorite things to buy from a farmers market is green beans. They just taste better when you buy them fresh from the market (I suppose most things do!). I don’t know what it is about green beans but when you buy them from a farmers market they always have a faint taste of dill. I just love that.
Lightly steamed, roasted or boiled, I don’t really care. The key is just barely cooking them so they’re nice and crisp still. The last thing you want is soggy green beans, especially when they are farm fresh. These green beans with lemon and feta are honestly an amazing lunch, but they’re a great side dish too. They taste great hot, warm or cold, and are unbelievably easy to prepare.
