Nutrition Facts : Calories 97.1, Fat 4.9, SaturatedFat 0.7, Sodium 11.2, Carbohydrate 12.9, Fiber 4.5, Sugar 6.4, Protein 3.1

Tips:

  • Choose firm, crisp green beans: Avoid limp or wilted beans, as they will not hold their shape well in the salad.
  • Blanch the green beans: This process helps to preserve the beans' color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately remove the beans from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: This will add flavor and visual interest to the salad. You can use cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, or any other type of tomato that you like.
  • Use a light vinaigrette dressing: A heavy dressing will overwhelm the delicate flavors of the beans and tomatoes. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper is all you need.
  • Add some herbs: Herbs such as basil, oregano, or thyme will add a fresh flavor to the salad.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled, so make it ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Canned green beans and tomatoes are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. From salads to soups to stews, canned green beans and tomatoes are a great way to add flavor and nutrition to your meals.
