Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

6
Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the blanched green beans, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and chopped basil.
7
Add Dressing
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are well coated.
