Green Bean Salad

This is a great way to enhance the flavor of green beans. The green beans get blanched for 3 minutes then shocked in an ice bath to stop the cooking. You want the green beans to still have a slight crunch to them, so frozen or canned won’t work for this recipe. Then toss the chilled green beans with chimichurri sauce and feta. Sprinkle cilantro, toasted pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower seeds over the top.
