Green Bean and Cherry Tomato Salad
Posted in: Recipes - Thursday, August 12 2010
Very colourful and flavourful mix – this is also good with olives stirred through. In winter, vary the taste by using sprouting broccoli instead of green beans
Serves 4
- 450g/1lb fresh green beans
- 1 bunch spring onions, trimmed and sliced
- 100g/4oz cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 bunch spring onions, trimmed and sliced
- A good handful of herbs of choice, chopped roughly
For the vinaigrette:
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the beans and cook for a few minutes, till just al dente. Drain and refresh immediately under cold running water. At this point you can top and tail the beans if you wish. Place them in a large bowl and add the other ingredients. Make the dressing recipe given, or simply toss in a mix of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season and add herbs of choice.
