GREEN BEAN AND CHERRY TOMATO SALAD



Green Bean and Cherry Tomato Salad image

I found this recipe in Cooking Light a couple years ago. My family loves it and I make it all year long, not just in the summer. In a pinch, I have even made this using Trader Joe's frozen baby french green beans. This salad is always a big hit. Try to use a good quality red wine vinegar, like a cabernet vinegar, it really makes a difference.
