French bean and mozzarella
This needs a little flour-dusted, airy ciabatta for mopping up the dressing.
Serves 2-3
French beans 200g
buffalo mozzarella 1 large ball
sun-dried tomatoes in oil 200g
For the dressing
basil leaves a handful
white wine vinegar 1 tsp
olive oil 3 tbsp
Top and tail the beans and cook them briefly in boiling, salted water.
Drain them and refresh in cold water. Drain and set aside.

Season lightly. Chop the sun-dried tomato
