Ingredients

1lb fresh green beans, ends snapped, but kept long

one package of grape tomatoes, halved (about a cup to a cup and a half)

3 TBSP extra virgin olive oil

3 TBSP red wine vinegar

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

2 TBLS salt

6 cups water

Directions

Boil water and 2 TBSP salt, add green beans, cook until cooked through, but still very firm (eat one to test!)

Drain water from green beans, add very cold tap water and ICE to green beans for a quick chill.

In a small mixing bowl, add oil, start whisking briskly, slowly add vinegar. (you should see it turn almost creamy, and thicker in texture)

Stir in salt and pepper

In a medium sized bowl, add chilled green beans and tomatoes

Drizzle oil mixture over and toss to evenly coat.

**For a yummy way to mix it up, you can also add quartered, boiled, small red potatoes (But you may want to double the dressing)

This salad is best when its had a chance to sit for a while (or even over night) in the fridge, just make sure you toss it well before serving!

I REALLY do love your asian cucumber salad recipe! I will post a variation if trying it without the salt bath makes it any more crisp. I am definately going to try your green bean and tomato salad next. It looks too outrageously good to pass up! Thanx

I have found that if you slice the cucumbers just a little thicker and omit the salt bath that they stay crisper, longer. You also get a little more of the cucumber taste comming though. Cudos to you and your amazing recipes! Thanx!
