Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
In the same pot, bring another pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2 minutes, until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse with cold water.
In a large bowl, combine the green beans, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and fresh basil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
