This recipe combines the vibrant flavors of roasted cherry tomatoes, crunchy green beans, and toasted almonds, all dressed in a simple olive oil and vinegar dressing.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the cherry tomatoes and green beans thoroughly.
- Trim the ends of the green beans if not already done.
- Place the cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the tomatoes. Toss gently to coat them evenly.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
- Drain the green beans and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and maintain their bright green color. Drain again and set aside.
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Once toasted, remove from the skillet and let them cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted cherry tomatoes, green beans, and toasted almonds.
- Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
- Toss gently to mix and ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish or platter.
- Enjoy it as a side dish or a light main course!
Tips:
- Ensure the green beans are blanched properly to retain their bright green color and crunchiness.
- Roast the cherry tomatoes with olive oil until they start to blister for the best flavor.
- Toast the almonds lightly on a dry pan to enhance their natural nutty flavor.
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle freshly ground black pepper and sea salt to taste.
- Feel free to add some fresh herbs like basil or parsley for a burst of freshness.
