French Beans & Tomatoes Salad

A great and healthy salad dish to accompany any main dishes.  I am experimenting various kinds of salads involving french beans in order that our younger son eats them.  This time, I mixed cooked french beans with cherry tomatoes and added a simple salad dressing which is made of olive oil, vinegar, salt & pepper.

Ingredients:
500 g french beans, to be cleaned & washed
150 g cherry tomatoes, to be halved
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp vinegar
salt & ground black pepper to taste

Method:
Remove the ends off the french beans and cut into 5 cm lengths.  In a medium-size pot, add beans, enough water and a little salt.  Bring to boil and cook until the beans are almost cooked.

Once done, drain beans and transfer immediately into a bowl which is filled with iced water.  Leave aside for 10 minutes.

Drain beans and transfer to a large bowl.  Add olive oil, vinegar, salt and ground pepper.  Mix well and check seasoning.  Lastly, add in the cherry tomatoes.  Serve with any main dishes.

Bon Appetit!
