Mexican Green Beans

DSC_0049

With the gorgeous weather we've been having, I was looking for a fresh, simple way to make veggies (the hot ones just don't sound as appealing right now) and I was a little bit unsure how this would turn out- it sounded like an odd mixture of ingredients, but it was AWESOME. I ate about 4 servings... and there were no left overs. I made it with the Keywest Chicken Kabobs, perfect combo!

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb fresh green beans or a bag of frozen
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
2 TBL white vinegar
1 TBL olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp oregano
3/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/3 cup chopped, jalapenos (the pickled kind you buy in a jar)
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (mine was feta/black pepper mix)
1 avocado, diced
1-2 tomatoes, diced

DIRECTIONS:
Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add in green beans and boil about 5 minutes, then drain and rinse under cool water. The green beans should be just about room temperature- not cold or hot. Add in remaining ingredients and toss. Letting sit for at least a half an hour would be good to let the flavors blend.
