Haricots Verts In Plum Tomatoes
This dish looks impressive but it's very easy to prepare, so it's great for a dinner party! This is a great recipe for those of you who grow your own tomatoes and green beans. It makes more dressing than you'll need for the tomato/green bean combo....i use the extra dressing the next night on our salad.
