Perfect summer combination and I've used the dressing for any number of things since enjoying the green beans and tomatoes. Useful and delicious recipe.

Very tasty and refreshing summer salad, though I did find the white wine vinegar a touch strong for this dish. Next time I will probably use white balsamic or apple cider vinegar. Thank you Marie for sharing the recipe.
