What is not to love about this crowd-pleasing summer side dish, Green Bean Cherry Tomato and Cheddar Salad. We love the crisp-tender green beans, creamy black pepper dressing and the tang of Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar with the fresh pop of basil.

  • 6 ounces Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar, Cabot Private Stock Founders’ Cheddar, or Cabot Farmhouse Reserve Cheddar, cut into cubes

  • 2 tablespoons chopped basil
