Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 500°F.
- Place the green beans, asparagus, peas, and snap peas in a medium saucepan. Cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until tender. Drain the vegetables and immediately submerge them in a bowl of ice water.
- Pour the balsamic vinegar into a small bowl. Whisk in the mustard until well incorporated, then whisk in the olive oil until smooth. Season with the salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place the cherry tomatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 5 minutes or until charred and soft.
- Stir the tomatoes and olives into the vinaigrette.
- Drain the vegetables well, then place them in the serving bowl with the lettuce. Toss with the vinaigrette and serve.
