Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 1 lb green beans and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the beans and immediately rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Pat dry with a towel.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 tbsp olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, and 0.5 tsp salt.
Step 4
Add the beans, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, and 8 oz torn mozzarella. Toss gently to combine.
Step 5
Serve immediately, or let sit for 10 minutes for flavors to meld.
