- 1 pound green beans (I used yellow as well), washed and trimmed
- 1 pound tomatoes (I used heirloom but any type will do), halved
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
Dressing:
- 1/2 cup olive oil extra virgin
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp honey
Blanch the green beans in a pan of boiling water for 1-2 minutes. You want them tender but still crisp. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and cool. Pat dry and cut into 2-inch pieces.
Combine beans, tomatoes and basil leaves.
Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until combined well. Drizzle over vegetables, toss gently and serve.
