Ingredients
  

  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • salt and pepper pinch
  • 8 ounces green beans blanched and chilled
  • English cucumber cut into half-moons
  • 1 romaine heart chopped
  • ½ head iceberg lettuce chopped
  • 1 head radicchio chopped
  • 6 ounces feta cheese

Instructions
 

  • Mix the shallot, lemon zest, lemon juice, and champagne vinegar in a large bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes. This will take the sharpness out of the shallot but leave behind all the sweet shallot flavor.
  • Whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is well combined.
  • Blanch the green beans by cooking them briefly in boiling water until just tender, then plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process. This keeps them crisp and vibrant.
  • Combine the green beans, cucumber, romaine, iceberg lettuce, and radicchio in a large salad bowl.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  • Crumble the feta cheese over the top and give the salad one last gentle toss to distribute the cheese evenly.
