Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Combine beans, tomatoes and basil leaves.
  3. Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until combined well. Drizzle over vegetables, toss gently and serve.
