This is a very simple, yet delicious recipe for a summery, healthy, and light lunch. The freshness of the beans and cherry tomatoes with a hint of lemon juice and olive oil is perfect for a hot day. Using fresh ingredients makes a big difference in the flavor of the salad. The key to making this salad delicious is to use high-quality olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Also, this salad is a great source of Vitamin C, fiber, and Vitamin A. We used baby green beans, but you can use any type of green beans, even frozen.

The problem with green beans is that they're not exactly the most exciting vegetable out there. Sure, they make a great side dish to a meal, but when you want a snack or something to go on your burger, they don't really make the cut. Introducing this healthy green bean and tomato salad recipe — it's full of flavor, crunch, and no guilt eating.
