- In a large bowl, combine the blanched green beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and fresh basil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
