Description

When it comes to buying feta, you've got choices. We love the firm texture and sheep's-milk tang of Bulgarian or Greek.

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
Kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons torn fresh mint leaves, divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, divided
2 tablespoons matchstick-size strips lemon zest, divided
2 tablespoons (or more) fresh lemon juice
2 ounces feta, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Working in two batches, cook beans in a large pot of boiling, generously salted water just until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to a colander set in a bowl of ice water; let cool. Drain well, then pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Toss beans, oil, 2 tablespoons mint, 1 tablespoon dill, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and half of feta in a large bowl; season with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired. Serve beans topped with remaining feta, 2 tablespoons mint, 1 tablespoon dill, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
  3. DO AHEAD: Beans can be cooked 1 day ahead. Wrap in a paper towel, place in a resealable plastic bag, and chill.
