I found this recipe in “Cuisine at Home”. I was looking for a light easy side for our family 4th of July get-together.
Everyone loved it….. even the little people!
2 lbs fresh green beans, trimmed
3 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
1 pkg. cherry tomatoes, sliced
Salt and Pepper
1 clove garlic, grated
30z of prosciutto (couldn’t find prosciutto, used bacon)
8 oz of Mozzarella
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 Tbsp olive oil
Preheat oven to 450
Toss beans with 2 Tbsp oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast beans in 450-degree oven for 20 minutes
Toss tomatoes and garlic with 1 Tbsp oil, transfer to a baking sheet and roast until tomatoes begin to wrinkle about 10 – 15 minutes.
Combine cooked beans, tomatoes, prosciutto and mozzarella.
Whisk together lemon juice and 3 Tbsp oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss with salad mixture.
Season again if necessary.
Makes about 8 servings.
We changed a few ingredients from the original recipe. As I stated above I couldn’t find prosciutto so used bacon. I also couldn’t find the listed “Burrata” cheese, a type of mozzarella – so used good ol’ mozzaraella. This recipe was easy to make up and was delicious.
