Beans beans they're good for your heart

 A wonderful patient of mine brought me a bag of garden fresh veggies as a thank you for her good surgery outcome.  How amazing is that?  To show my appreciation, I made a salad recipe up!


1/2 lb fresh green beans chopped to about 1/2 inch pieces






1/2lb fresh snap peas chopped to about 1/2 inch pieces

2 cloves garlic

1 cup of cherry tomatoes thinly sliced

1 shallot thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh chopped basil

1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

zest of 1 lemon

2T. lemon juice

1/2 cup olive oil

1/4 cup aged balsamic


1 ball of burrata


Combine the veggies and toss. In a blender, add olive oil, balsamic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper and herbs and blending until smooth.  Toss with the bean mix. 

Make a circle with the salad on a platter and place the burrata in the center. make a small cut in the burrata and add final splash of dressing and a sprinkle of truffle salt.
