7 ounces, weight Green Beans
2 cups Cucumber, Diced
2 cups Tomato, Diced
1 ear Corn, Sliced Kernels Off The Cob
1/4 cups Onion, Sliced Thin
1 whole Avocado, Pitted, Peeled, Diced
10 leaves Basil, Diced
FOR THE DRESSING:
1-1/2 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
1/4 teaspoons Garlic, Minced
1 dash Black Pepper

1
In a microwave safe dish, add green beans and about 3 tablespoons water. Cover and cook for 2 minutes. Once done, place beans in cold water and set aside.
2
Meanwhile, add all the remaining vegetables and basil to a bowl. Add the green beans and lightly mix together. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use. Note: If the green beans are too long, cut them in half after you have cooked them.
3
In a small bowl, add dressing ingredients, whisk together or pour into a small jar and shake.
4
You can either serve the dressing on the side, which I recommend if planning on having leftovers (just add a squirt of lemon juice to the salad so the vegetables stay fresh and avocado stays green), or add dressing directly onto the salad and let sit for about 1 hour for maximum flavor.
