This green bean salad is fresh, balanced, and built around clean flavors that feel easy and familiar. Tender green beans provide structure while juicy tomatoes add brightness. Onion brings a gentle bite that keeps the salad lively without overpowering it. Crumbled cheese ties everything together with a touch of richness. It’s the kind of dish that feels light but still satisfying. Simple, everyday ingredients coming together with calm confidence.
