Yellow Wax Bean Salad

Ingredients:
- 1 pound of yellow wax string beans
- 3-4 garlic cloves
- 2-3 fresh cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup of chopped fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar
- Spices: salt and pepper


Preparation

•  Bring water to boil in a pot. Add the yellow wax string beans, and boil for 20-25 minutes. When ready, discard the water.
•  Mash the garlic cloves. If you don't like raw garlic too much, mix with the beans while they're still hot - this will slightly cook the garlic. If you're a big fan of raw garlic (like I am), wait for the beans to cool, then add the mashed garlic.
• Partially mash the beans - we don't want them to be a paste, but we don't want the whole strings either.
• Dice the cherry tomatoes and the fresh parsley, and add them to the mix. Also, add the olive oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.
•  Mix everything.
• Serve cold or at room temperature.
