So tonight we tried grilled green beans. My other half kept raving over them, so I'll take that to mean they were a success. Approx. 1 lb of green beans, rinsed and ends trim.
Place in a large zip lock bag for easy marinating.

Caprese Salad is a very easy to make salad that is still full of flavor. It's perfect for those hot summer evenings when you don't want to heat up the whole house with the stove or oven. It's also as easy to make for one person or the whole family - just figure one tomato per person as a side or an appetizer .
Cut tomatoes into slices or wedges.

The green beans can be blanched a day or two in advanced, but don't add the dressing until you are ready to serve the salad as the fennel will discolor.
Dressing:
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound green beans, trimmed

It can be made a head of time for your next picnic or family bbq.
