Ingredients

1 lb. fresh green beans
2 large ripe tomatoes, cut in wedges
1 med. red onion, halved and thinly sliced, rings seperated
1/3 c. freshly grated parmesan cheese
3/4 c. kalmata (or black)olives, pitted
VINAIGRETTE DRESSING:
1/3 c. olive oil
1/3 c. red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dark coarse grain mustard
black pepper to taste

Steps:

Wash and remove the ends from beans. Heat a pot of salt water to boiling. Place beans in boiling water and cook uncovered for 5 minutes. Cover and cook for no longer than 10 minutes more, until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse under cold water just to stop the cooking. Beans should remain slightly warm to absorb the dressing. Place the beans in a large bowl with the olives, onions, and tomato wedges. While the beans are cooking, prepare the vinaigrette. Place all of the ingredients in a blender, and process until oil and vinegar are incorporated. Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables in the bowl, and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Just prior to serving, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and toss.

I'm not a big fan of green beans, but I thought I'd give this salad a try. I'm glad I did! The salad is really good. The green beans are cooked perfectly and the dressing is flavorful and light. I'll definitely be making this salad again.

This salad is okay. The green beans are cooked well, but the dressing is a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some lemon juice or vinegar to it next time.

I've tried this salad several times and I'm always disappointed. The green beans are always overcooked and the dressing is too sweet. I think I'll stick to my old green bean salad recipe.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover green beans. It's also a healthy and refreshing side dish. I like to add a little bit of feta cheese to mine for extra flavor.
