Green Bean and Tomato Salad with Fresh Herbs
Serves: 4-6
Loaded with nutrients and low in calories (only 40 calories per cup), green beans are a welcome staple of the late summer harvest. When buying green beans, look for a vibrant green color free of brown spots. They should be firm, not rubbery, and snap when broken in half.
