- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions
- Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Add the cooked green beans to the bowl with the cherry tomatoes mixture. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients.
