300g green beans, trimmed and blanched
200g cherry tomatoes, halved 
100g feta cheese, crumbled 
40g arugula

Dressing

Start by making the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the Truffle French Dressing, lemon juice, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. 

Add the shallot, lemon zest, and finely chopped parsley. Set aside for 10 minutes for the flavours to mellow.
