Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup of basil pesto
  • 3 cups of haricot verts blanched
  • 1 tub of baby mozzarella balls
  • 1 pack of assorted cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup of Italian olive oil
  • Coarse salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil to garnish

Instructions

Make a homemade pesto using my recipe or use a store-bought one.

Bring a pot of boiling salted water to the boil. Blanch the haricot verts for 2 mins and then remove and place into an ice bath to stop cooking. Dry them well.

Drain the mozzarella and place in a bowl along with the pesto, tomatoes, haricot verts, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with olive oil.

Serve at room temperature alongside some crusty bread.
