Instructions
Rinse and chop the ends of the green beans off.
Cut the green beans into thirds.
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil and add the cut green beans. Cook for 5 minutes.
Drain the beans and place them into an ice-cold water bowl to stop the cooking.
Drain the beans out of the cold water and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the olive oil and lemon juice.
Using 2 serving spoons or a fork (I used big salad serving utensils) toss so the green beans are coated.
Sprinkle salt, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and Dijon mustard. Mix well.
Add the tomatoes and mix so all the beans and tomatoes are coated with the seasonings.
Chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Serve and Enjoy!
Notes
You can also add 1 teaspoon of honey for a slightly sweeter flavor
This is a great summer side dish. It tastes like summer on a plate. It can be served as a side dish to a quiche, sandwich, grilled chicken breast, fish
Use leftovers: Chopped in smaller pieces and add to scramble eggs for a quick omelet
Storage in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days I wouldn’t recommend freezing it because of the tomatoes, they don’t freeze really well.
