Method

In a medium-size bowl, toss shallots with vinegar.


Add cubed mozzarella, herbs and oil.


Toss well to coat, season with salt and pepper and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight to let flavors blend.


Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.


Drop in beans and cook until just tender, 1 to 2 minutes for small young beans and up to 6 minutes for larger beans. Drain.


Toss hot beans with olive oil, shallots, tarragon, salt and pepper. Beans will soak up the flavors as they cool to room temperature.


Toss in cherry tomatoes. Season and drizzle with additional oil and vinegar if desired.
