Cooking Time
30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 5 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 whole lemon
  • 1 Tbsp capers
  • 1 Tbsp parsley
  • 1 lb green beans
  • 8 oz feta cheese
  • 2 tomato
  • 1 Tbsp fresh thyme
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 C breadcrumbs
  • 6 C arugula

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of the oil, juice lemon for 3 tablespoons, capers, and chopped parsley. Set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trimmed green beans and cook until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain and run under cold water.
  3. Cut the Feta into 4 slices. Set aside to drain on paper towels.
  4. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cut the tomatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices, season with thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side.
  5. Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Coat the Feta in bread crumbs and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
  6. Arrange the arugula, tomatoes, beans, and Feta on plates and drizzle with the vinaigrette.
