Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons torn fresh mint leaves, divided
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, divided
  • 2 tablespoons matchstick-size strips lemon zest, divided
  • 2 tablespoons (or more) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 ounces feta, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Working in two batches, cook beans in a large pot of boiling, generously salted water just until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to a colander set in a bowl of ice water; let cool. Drain well, then pat dry with paper towels.
  • Toss beans, oil, 2 tablespoons mint, 1 tablespoon dill, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and half of feta in a large bowl; season with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired. Serve beans topped with remaining feta, 2 tablespoons mint, 1 tablespoon dill, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
  • DO AHEAD:
