Boil eggs for 10 min. Remove eggs and place into a bowl of ice water.

Meanwhile, in a dry skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon for 5 min., or until crispy. Remove from pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Crumble the bacon.

Once the eggs are removed, add string beans to the boiling water and cook 4 min. or until al dente. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, slice the onion and cut the tomatoes into wedges. Peel the eggs and cut into quarters.

Tips
This vinaigrette makes a great base. With a drizzle of honey or chopped shallots, you can create a whole new dressing.
