Preparation

In a saucepan of boiling, salted water, cook green beans for about 3 minutes or until tender-crisp or until desired doneness. Drain well and let cool.

In a salad bowl, mix together oil, balsamic vinegar and basil. Add beans, green bell pepper, tomato and ham and toss to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste

Divide among serving plates and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese and chives.

Tips

If you prefer, you can omit cooking the green beans and add them to the salad raw.

In place of Canadian Cheddar cheese, try Canadian Gouda, Canadian Colby or crumbled Canadian Blue cheese.
