Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds slender green beans, trimmed

8 tablespoons fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 1-pint basket cherry or teardrop tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/3 cup olive oil
6 tablespoons drained capers

  1. Step 1

    Cook beans in pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain. Transfer to medium bowl. Refresh under cold running water. Drain well.
