Green Beans With Tomato Salsa

Submitted by juniperwoman

"This sounds like a lovely accompaniment to grilled meat or chicken. Don't be put off by the long prep time--all you have to do is mix the ingredients for the salsa and let them stand for 30 minutes. Then cook the green beans, mix everything together, and you're done! I found this recipe on the Good Housekeeping website."
