This cold salad is a great twist on plain old green beans. The original recipe calls for frozen French-cut green beans, thawed, but swapping out the frozen for canned makes this a pantry-friendly recipe--great in a pinch or an emergency. Plus, it comes together in about 15 minutes, so it's ridiculously easy and convenient, too.

Three of my favorite things combined into one bowl of yumminess. Sadly I'm going to have to wait for Spring to roll around again in this half of the hemisphere before I can use some of our home-grown varieties in the salad, but the greengrocer should have some in stock.
ReplyDeleteOh, good! I'm glad you'll like this. Yes, it's definitely better with fresh or frozen, but the canned version of the green beans works very nicely, too. Thanks for stopping by!
