* bunch of green beans and/or yellow wax beans, lightly steamed and cooled in an ice bath to keep them crisp
  * 3-4 cherry or campari tomatoes, quartered
  * 1-2 tablespoons sliced almonds
  * 1 oz crumbled goat cheese
  * 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  * 1 tablespoon olive oil
  * good pinch of kosher salt and fresh ground pepper

Combine cooled and dried steamed green and yellow beans along with tomatoes and almonds in a salad bowl. Top with goat cheese. Drizzle balsamic vinegar and olive oil over your salad and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Note: this could easily turned into a larger salad to serve at a picnic or barbecue by increasing the ingredients – perfect for spring and summer!
