1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Freshly ground black pepper

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch until bright green, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove to a large bowl of iced water. Drain then dry well.
Add the cherry tomatoes, shallots and green beans together in a large bowl.
