Ingredients

5 plum tomatoes, each cut lengthwise into 4 slices
1/4 pound haricots verts (thin French green beans) or small green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
a heaping 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450° F. and lightly grease a baking sheet.

    In a bowl whisk together juices, zest, mustard, oil, shallot, and salt and pepper to taste.

    Step 5

    Arrange tomatoes, overlapping them, on 2 plates and mound mixed baby salad greens and beans on top. Drizzle salads with vinaigrette. Serves 2 as a first course or side dish.
