This recipe was created because we had the most delicious organic green beans and cherry tomatoes, and we needed to come up with something to go with it. This salad is very easy to put together and it really tastes like summer to me. Mac and cheese is a family favorite. We always try to change up the recipe a bit, so this time we made an herb bread crumb topping and added shallots to our cheese sauce. When there are no leftovers, you know if was a good dinner.

Green Bean and Tomato Salad
1 large bunch of green beans(about one cup)

In a shallow pan heat up some water to boiling. Add in some salt. Blanche your green beans for about 5 minutes. Take off the heat and quickly rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.

Finally, pour on your rice wine vinegar. Stir well and enjoy a delicious cold summer salad.
