Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Drain the beans and immediately rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Pat dry with a towel.

  3. Step 3

    In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 tbsp olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, and 0.5 tsp salt.

  4. Step 4

    Add the beans, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, and 8 oz torn mozzarella. Toss gently to combine.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately, or let sit for 10 minutes for flavors to meld.
