Canned olives are often less expensive and readily available.

Trim the ends of the green beans and blanch them in boiling water for 3-4 minutes until bright green.

Drain the green beans and immediately plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process.

Once cooled, drain the green beans again and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the green beans.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
