Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add beans and boil until color changes to bright green, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 2
Drain beans completely and run under cold water or submerge in a bowl with ice-cold water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain completely and set aside.
Step 3
Combine bell pepper, mango, and shallots in a large salad bowl. Add green beans and feta cheese; toss to combine.
Step 4
Combine onion, balsamic vinegar, sugar, mustard, and poppy seeds together in a bowl. Drizzle in olive oil while whisking rapidly until dressing is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Drizzle about 1/4 cup vinaigrette over the salad and mix to combine.
