Tomato Bacon Green Bean Salad
Say hello to summer with this simple Bacon Green Bean Salad made with broiled green beans, bacon and tomatoes.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 32 oz. green beans fresh, ends trimmed
- 3 tbsp olive oil divided
- 3 slices bacon chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 1/4 cup grape tomatoes sliced
- 3 tbsp parmesan cheese shaved or grated
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to broil, then place beans on a large baking sheet and drizzle them with 2 tbsp olive oil. Broil beans for 15-20 minutes, or until they can easily be pierced with a fork.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add the remaining olive oil, garlic and tomatoes to the skillet and cook until the tomatoes are soft, approximately 2-3 minutes. Add bacon back into the skillet, then remove it from the heat.
- Once the green beans are cooked, transfer them to a platter or large bowl and pour tomato-bacon mixture and the oil/juices over top of the green beans. Sprinkle with cheese and enjoy!
