Ingredients for 2 servings:
1. 1 lb green beans, washed and ends removed
2. 2 large tomatoes, sliced in 1/3-inch rounds
3. 1 -2 garlic clove, minced
4. 3 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, sliced thinly
5. 5 fresh basil leaves, chopped
6. 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
7. 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
8. 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt (about 1/4-1/2 tsp.)
Directions:
1. Parboil green beans in a pot of salted, boiling water for about 3 minutes, or until just slightly tender. Strain and place beans in bowl of cold water to keep beans from cooking further and to bring them to room temperature.
2. On a large serving platter, cover bottom with a layer of green beans. Then place the tomato slices in a single layer on top. Cover each tomato with a thin slice of mozzarella. Sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped basil on top.
3. In a small container, mix the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt until combined. Drizzle over the salad and serve.
Enjoy your meal!
