GARDEN FRESH BROCCOLI TOMATO AND BEAN SALAD!

Steps:

• Make salad dressing ahead if it's easier! I can keep this salad dressing for over a week, and just zap it in the microwave before using in the salad.
• Put broccoli florets into a steamer basket and a large pot with about an inch of water. Steam til firm/tender.
• While steaming broccoli, mince the onion and cut tomatoes in half. Sun Gold tomatoes are my very favorite from my garden, but cherry or other small tomatoes will work as a substitute.
• Put dressing on the bottom and then add broccoli, beans, onion and tomatoes. Toss and add chili pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste. I use Jacobsen's salt/pepper combo and add the chili pepper flakes last. Serve at room temperature and can be chilled for later! (The wine is for the chef!)
