Serve up those green beans in a whole new way! The tangy flavors and crunch of this eye-appealing side complement any special meal or holiday potluck. —Megan Spencer, Farmington Hills, Michigan

Ingredients:
• 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 large red onion, chopped
• 4 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled feta cheese

Directions:
1. Place beans in a 6-qt. stockpot; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook, covered, 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and immediately place into ice water. Drain and pat dry.

2. In a small bowl, whisk oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, garlic powder, mustard and pepper. Drizzle over beans. Add onion; toss to coat. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour. Just before serving, stir in tomatoes and cheese.
