Green Bean Salad with Feta

SUBMITTED BY: USA WEEKEND columnist Jean Carper PHOTO BY: Carrie

"This super-green salad has lots of antioxidants, including lutein, beta carotene and vitamin C, and it's a delicious way to help you rack up the seven to nine daily servings of fruits and vegetables recommended for adults."
