1-1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
6 to 8 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 to 4 teaspoons sugar
1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 cups torn mixed salad greens

Directions

Place the beans in a large saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse in cold water.
In a large bowl, combine the beans, oranges and onion. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Pour over bean mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Just before serving, add the salad greens, avocado and pecans; toss gently.
