Bean salad with feta, sweet onion and oranges
4 servings
30 minutes
This Italian salad combines the freshness of vegetables, the rich flavor of feta cheese, and a citrus note from oranges, creating a vibrant symphony of tastes. Its roots can be traced to Mediterranean cuisine where beans are an important ingredient. White and green beans add texture while lettuce makes the salad light. Red onion adds a slight sweetness that contrasts with the tanginess of feta. The dressing of olive oil and vinegar balances and softens the dish. This salad is perfect as a standalone dish on a summer day or as an exquisite appetizer before the main meal. Rich in proteins, vitamins, and antioxidants, it not only delights the palate but also benefits the body.
