I doubled the recipe -- and then doubled the olive oil again, so 4T olive oil. I made a paste of the oil, feta, lemon zest & juice from 1/2 of 1 lemon, then added the beans and onion to that, so it coated the beans. Delicious -- DH ate 1/3 of it all by himself! -
Simple, easy, light and delicious! This is my new favorite way to enjoy fresh green beans. I have made this dish for two separate parties and it was a hit at both. Thanks! -

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
