Green Bean Salad

Hello,

I hope everyone has been enjoying my blog.  I don't know about anyone else, but sometimes I have to do a little stretching of my ingredients to make enough for everyone.  Just recently I had to do that.  I made a Green Bean Salad.   First thing you need to do is prepare your green beans for this salad.  You must first begin by snipping your green beans and cooking them in a big pot of boiling salty water to your desired tenderness.

While prepping my green beans I drained and rinsed a can of beans. In this recipe I used red kidney beans.  I had some roasted wild mushrooms that I added to this recipe.  It isn't necessary to add what I add to my salad, but you can add what ever you would like.  I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes, diced red onion, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.  You can add olives, diced peppers or any other type of ingredients to make this dish your own.  I hope your dish is enjoyed by everyone.

Hello,

You remember when you were growing up and your mom told you to "Eat your VEGGIES", and you made that face because they were green but not a bright green but a army green.  I do remember those years the green beans were cooked up and the broccoli was falling apart.  "Sorry Mom!!"  Today when I tell my kids to "Eat your VEGGIES", they make that face I made but the green vegetables are bright green and not mushy.
