Green Bean & Cherry Tomato Salad

We love, love, love this warm salad! Green beans and cherry tomatoes are FRESH! Not only does a little bit of salt and spices take the natural flavors of these vegetables to a whole new level, but the color contrast is so refreshing and pleasant! Traditionally, we recommend this one as a perfect holiday recipe, but it's simply too good to limit yourself to just a celebration! Enjoy and share the love all year long!
