Thursday Recipe: Green Bean & Pancetta Salad

Make this an end of Summer must for any last minute BBQ you have planned. As we've been getting quite some warm weather lately, I thought I'd give this green bean salad a try instead of using the oven. I am always the one to complain about how I never know what to do with green beans. Seriously..I boil them and then what? It's pretty bland.

What you will need:
- Green beans, trimmed and boiled
- Halved cherry tomatoes
- Diced avocado
- Crumbled feta cheese
- Crumbled walnuts
- Pancetta
- Garlic
- Olive oil
- Balsamic vinegar

What to do:
- In a mixing bowl, combine green beans, tomatoes, avocado, garlic, feta & walnuts.
- In a pan, cook the pancetta until it resembles bacon bits.
- Mix olive oil and balsamic vinegar in with the veggies .
- Top your plate with the pancetta bits.

The creamy texture of the avocado ties the whole salad together, the feta adds just enough of saltiness. To be redone!
