Marinated Green Beans
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + chilling
YIELD: 6 servings.
For many years, I made this dish with asparagus. At Thanksgiving, green beans were all I had, so I used them instead. Everyone enjoyed it. Plus, it doesn't take much time to put together. —Phy Bresse of Lumberton, North Carolina
