Italian Green Beans with Tomatoes

1 pound green beans

2 tomatoes, cut into wedges OR cherry tomatoes
1 small onion, sliced
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
Ripe olives 

Vinaigrette Recipe:
1/3 cup EVOO
2 T red wine vinegar
1clove garlic, chopped
1 t Salt
Dash of pepper

Mix all dressing ingredients together and shake to combine 

Directions:

Cook beans uncovered in skillet or pan for 5 minutes

Cover and continue to cook until tender (10-15 minutes) and Drain

(I just steam mine...fix the way you like them.  Canned could work.)

Pour Vinaigrette over warm beans and toss

Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours (or overnight) 

With a slotted spoon, remove beans to a lettuce lined plate or platter

Add tomatoes around the edge and scatter onions over them on the platter platter

Sprinkle with cheese and garnish with olives

Serve at room temp.....or slightly chilled.

I pour the dressing over the beans and refrigerate just the beans.  When ready to serve, add the onion and tomatoes and some extra dressing from the beans.  Delicious!
