Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb fresh green beans, cleaned, trimmed and quartered
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
3/4 cup pine nuts, toasted (1/4 will be reserved for presentation)
1/2 red onion , sliced thin into half moons
1/2 cup fresh basil , sliced into thin strands ( chiffonade)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar ( use a good 1)
3 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp sugar

Directions:

Blanch the green beans in salted boiling water for one or two minutes. Strain then plunge into an ice bath. Strain again, and spread them on a towel to dry while you prep the other ingredients.
Combine all ingredients through the basil, reserving 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts.
Whisk vinegar, oil, garlic, dijon mustard and sugar until emulsified. Toss with green bean mix. Let the salad marinate for up to an hour, top with the remaining pine nuts. You can serve it immediately, but the longer it marinates, the better it will taste. It was even more delicious for lunch the next day.
