This Green Bean Tomato Salad with Maple Basil Dressing makes the most of summer green beans and tomatoes.
Green Bean Tomato Salad with Maple Basil Dressing - the sweet and tangy dressing helps bring out the best flavor in this summer green bean salad

Each week, I visit our local farmer’s market and pick up as much fresh produce as I can use for that week. I always buy tomatoes (because I am somewhat obsessed with summer tomatoes) and lately, I’ve been picking up green beans. Although I usually stir-fry green beans, last week I made this Green Bean Tomato Salad with Maple Basil Dressing inspired by a recipe card I found at my favorite spice store, Penzey’s.

The idea of a refreshing green bean tomato salad was especially appealing on a hot summer night.

The dressing is sweet and tangy, and fresh basil adds a nice summery touch.

    I made this last night and it was just wonderful. I had steamed a big batch of green beans the night before and was looking for a recipe to use up the leftovers. So glad I ran across this recipe. So good, would be good to just snack on! Thanks! Another great recipe from your blog.
