Sting Bean & Tomato Salad

String Bean & Tomato Salad

(8-12 servings)

Ingredients:

1 lb. Green String Beans, cleaned & trimmed

1 lb. Yellow String Beans, cleaned & trimmed

1 pt. Cherry or Grape Tomatoes, halved

2 medium Shallots, minced

¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 tbsp. Dry Tarragon, chopped

Directions:

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the beans until just tender (about 4-5 minutes). Drain and spread on a rimmed baking sheet to cool. Pat dry after spreading them out. Once cooled, combine with the tomatoes in a large bowl. In a small bowl whisk together the shallots, oil and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Then toss dressing with the bean and tomato mixture. Serve at room temperature.

Note: You can use fresh tarragon if you have it. Just double the amount.
