Green Bean & Semi Roasted Cherry Tomato Salad with a Zesty Walnut & Sour Dough Gremolata

Ingredients

400g green beans, tipped

2 punnet cherry tomatoes

1/4 red onion, finely sliced

1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

Drizzle olive oil

Squeeze lemon juice

2 slices sour dough

1/3 cup walnuts, toasted

Zest of 1 lemon

1 clove garlic, roughly chopped

1/2 cup chopped parsley

1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

1 Tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

(For Gremolata)
Rip up bread and throw into a food processor along with toasted walnuts, lemon zest, chopped parsley, thyme, garlic, olive oil and a little salt and pepper.
Blitz away until you have a nice fine crumb- set aside.
Now (for salad) in a large pot- bring some water to the boil and throw beans in. Boil for 2 minutes, drain and refresh in cold water. Drain and throw beans on serving plate or bowl. For tomatoes, either bake in pre-heated oven 180*C for around 6 minutes. Or simply pan fry until you've given them some colour- remove before they split and arrange on beans.
Throw some sliced red onion around.
Toast some pine nuts and sprinkle over.
A squeeze of lemon- drizzle of olive oil- crack some black pepper and sea salt and finish with a sprinkle of Gremolata.
Bloody beautiful fresh salad. Enjoy!
