GREEN BEAN AND CHERRY TOMATO SALAD



Green Bean and Cherry Tomato Salad image

I found this recipe in Cooking Light a couple years ago. My family loves it and I make it all year long, not just in the summer. In a pinch, I have even made this using Trader Joe's frozen baby french green beans. This salad is always a big hit. Try to use a good quality red wine vinegar, like a cabernet vinegar, it really makes a difference.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 lb green beans, trimmed
1 small shallot, dice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
salt and pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 lb cherry tomatoes, halved
6 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced

  • In large bowl, stir together shallot, vinegar, salt and pepper. Set aside for 15 minutes, then whisk in oil.
  • Add cherry tomatoes and toss. Add beans and basil and toss again. Adjust seasoning.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe ingredients: Use crisp green beans, plump cherry tomatoes, and flavorful red onion for the best results.
  • Blanch the green beans briefly: This helps to preserve their鮮豔的綠色color and slightly softens them, while still maintaining a bit of a crunch.
  • Use a light and tangy dressing: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey is a great option that enhances the flavors of the salad without overpowering them.
  • Add some fresh herbs for extra flavor: Parsley, basil, or mint are all great options that will add a pop of freshness to the salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the green beans and tomatoes will start to lose their crunch over time.

Conclusion:

This green bean, cherry tomato, and red onion salad is a simple yet flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its 鮮豔的綠色green beans, sweet cherry tomatoes, and tangy red onion, this salad is a refreshing and healthy addition to any meal.
