grilled haricot verts (green beans) with avocado & feta

Name: grilled haricot verts (green beans) with avocado & feta
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 4 Servings
Ingredients: 1 pound haricot verts, trim the stem end; salt and pepper, for seasoning; about 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil; 1 lemon, zested and juiced; 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar; 1 tablespoon chopped dill, plus more for garnish; 1 tablespoon chopped chives, plus more for garnish; 10 mint leaves, plus more for garnish; 3 radishes, thinly sliced; 1/8 red onion thinly sliced; 1 avocado sliced into thin wedges; ½ cup sheet feta crumbled into large chunks; 1/2 lemon, sliced into wheels

If your at the grill already these are a great, and different addition to the menu. Haricot verts are the thinner French version to the larger American green bean, they are also known to have better flavor and are more tender. If you can not find these super skinny little beans then you can opt for its larger cousin, a regular green bean.

I normally just trim the stem side on the bean not the long tapered end. On the American versions you may need to trim both sides but it is really up to you.
