Green Beans Provence

“Crisp-tender green beans are paired with tomatoes for a colorful and nutritious side. Dressed with fresh basil and just enough vinegar to add a bit of tang, this dish complements most any entrée.”

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil
1 tablespoon tarragon vinegar
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Dash salt

Place beans in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cover and
cook for 4 to 7 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and immediately place beans
in ice water. Drain and pat dry. In a large bowl, combine beans and tomatoes.
Combine the basil, vinegar, oil, garlic, pepper and salt; drizzle over beans and
toss to coat.

Yield: 4 servings.
