GREEN BEANS SALAD

I think this is the time of the year that people make green bean recipes especially casserole but i'd rather make a green bean salad :)

INGREDIENTS

2 lbs fresh green beans                            
1 lb grape or cherry tomatoes
1 red onion thinly sliced
1 lemon
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup thinly sliced shallots                   
2 cups sliced mushrooms (optional)
1 cup pancetta or bacon
3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Boil green beans when it's tender put it in a strainer and put cold water with ice on it to stop from cooking also to preserve that gorgeous green color of it. Then take the water out and put it in the refrigerator. In a pan add olive oil and the pancetta or bacon then the shallots and mushrooms when it's cooked put it in a bowl and set it aside. Add the zest and juice of the lemon in the red onion then add salt and pepper then add it with the green beans, tomatoes then add the pancetta and mixed it together.
