1
Prep the Vegetables
Rinse the fresh green beans under cold running water to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the green beans by cutting off the stem ends. Then, rinse the cherry tomatoes and set them aside. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.

2
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3
Cook the Green Beans
Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the onion and garlic. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the green beans are tender but still crisp.
4
Add the Tomatoes
Stir in the cherry tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
5
Finishing Touches
Remove from heat and gently fold in the fresh basil leaves. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm.
