Sometimes simple is best. Just a few basic seasonings accentuate the natural flavors of sweet tomatoes and oven-roasted green beans. All they're tossed with is fresh basil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper; it doesn't get much easier than that. It all comes together from start to finish in less than half an hour. You can serve this dish hot, room temperature, or chilled for even more convenience. Keep a batch in the fridge to have some on hand at all times. It's the perfect side for a burger, grilled chicken, or steak. It's also delicious added to marinara sauce and then tossed with pasta and shredded cheese.
