Yield Makes 6 servings

3/4 pound green beans, trimmed
3/4 pound yellow wax beans, trimmed
3 cups cherry tomatoes (about 14 ounces), halved
1 medium-size red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Cook all beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain; rinse with cold water and drain well. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Pat dry, then wrap in paper towels. Enclose in plastic bag and refrigerate.)
  • Combine beans, tomatoes, onion and basil in serving bowl. Whisk oil, vinegar and sugar in small bowl to blend. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Add dressing to vegetables; toss to coat. Cover; chill at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours, tossing occasionally. Serve salad cold or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your salad. Look for tomatoes that are firm, have a deep red color, and smell sweet and fragrant.
  • Use a variety of colors and textures: To add visual interest and complexity to your salad, use a mix of yellow, orange, and red tomatoes. You can also add other colorful vegetables, such as bell peppers, cucumbers, and onions.
  • Don't overdress your salad: A light vinaigrette dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the tomatoes without overpowering them. Use a ratio of 3 parts olive oil to 1 part vinegar, and season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
  • Let your salad marinate: Marinating your salad for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and develop. This is especially important if you are using a flavorful dressing.
  • Serve your salad at room temperature: Cold tomatoes can be bland and tasteless. Let your salad come to room temperature before serving to allow the flavors to fully shine.
