Ingredients
Roasted Tomato Dressing
- 1 large tomato halved
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tsps red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Green Bean Salad
- 2 cups green beans about ½ pound. Ends trimmed and beans cut in half or thirds.
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- ¼ cup sweet onion sliced vertically. Can substitute red onion.
Instructions
Roasted Tomato Dressing
- Preheat broiler. Spray tomato halves with olive oil. Place on broiler-proof pan and broil 10 minutes until tomatoes are blackened. Allow to cool 10 minutes.
- Remove skin and core of tomato. Add the tomato flesh and remaining dressing ingredient to blender and blend till smooth.
Green Bean Salad
- While tomato is roasted steam green beans about 9 minutes till tender crisp. (If you are using the thinner French green beans check them after 6 minutes.)
- Rinse and allow to cool.
- Toss beans, cherry tomatoes and onion in a bowl and toss with dressing.
- Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. Stores well in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Notes
Note 1: To air fry green beans, spray with olive oil, air fry at 375 degrees for about 6- 8 minutes. Switch trays/stir at half way point. This gives the salad a bit different texture. If you are using the thinner French green beans check them after 6 minutes.
