Let's Get Started

- In a large bowl, combine the cooked green beans, crumbled bacon, red onion, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and fresh parsley.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
