Tasty and a snap to make, this side dish is a guaranteed salad bar star. The tangy marinade dresses up the green beans, spinach and lettuce nicely. I keep the recipe at the front of my easy-to-make file. -Dorothy Pritchett, Wills Point, Texas

I wasn't fond of this salad. Maybe as suggested, fresh green beans would make it taste better.

This dish has a lot of potential. I would HIGHLY recommend not only halfing or quatering the recipe (I made half and it would serve at least 10 guests), but it would be much tastier and fresher if you use fresh or blanched green beans. If you follow these modifications, I think this is a salad you can comfortably serve company.
