What to do with a handful of leftover cooked green beans? These beans had been steamed to almost tender, then sauteed in a little bacon fat along with some sliced onions. Starting with chilled beans, I tossed them with a bottled Provencal vinaigrette, topped with some diced roasted red bell pepper, garnished with yellow pear tomato halves (from my own garden!) and a few shavings of pecorino romano cheese. Although I plated the salad on small (6 inch) plates, it would have been just as pretty on a larger platter.
