I FOUND that beans, basil and tomatoes make a very tasty combination of flavors, especially in summer, when all these ingredients can be garden fresh. I like to serve this pretty vegetable dish when entertaining. It's so colorful! -Shirley Heare, Fayetteville, North Carolina

I'm not a big fan of green beans, but this recipe changed my mind. The cherry tomatoes add a nice sweetness and the garlic and onion powder give it a savory flavor.
