Martian's Green Bean & Tomato Salad

Martian sent us a recipe! And it sounds lovely. She writes: The original recipe called for twice as much oil and vinegar, but it was too much for my taste. But others may prefer it that way.
  • 1 pkg strawberry tomatoes (cherry would be good, too)
  • some green beans
  • a large handfull of chopped herbs: mint, parsley, basil
  • garlic clove, chopped
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1/2 T balsamic vinegar
  • salt & pepper
Cut tomatoes in half and place in large bowl. Cook the green beans in boiling water to your preferred doneness, drail well and add to tomatoes. In a separate bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Pour over beans and tomatoes...let sit a little bit so the beans absorb the dressing flavors. It is yummy warm or cold.
