Green bean salad with roasted tomato vinaigrette – great dressing !
Hello again everyone !
A super duper simple, easy peasy, quick and easy salad recipe. Great for a quick lunch, especially if you happen to have the oven on for other things, throw a few tomatoes in there and you will have a yummy vinaigrette in no time at all.
Beans and fresh tomatoes top it off nicely. An awesome alternative to a plain lettuce salad.
This goes really well with the OptiCook mock potato salad and the OptiCook curried zucchini rice salad . They make a great trio.
I’d love to hear how you go !
