Method

Cook beans in a large saucepan of boiling water about 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain; rinse until cool. Drain well. In a large salad bowl combine green beans, onion, and bean sprouts; set aside. For dressing, in a small bowl whisk together vinegar, oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and honey. Drizzle dressing over bean mixture, tossing to coat. Just before serving, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

 

Notes: This crisp summer salad keeps well in the refrigerator, if it lasts that long. The toasty flavor in the sesame dressing makes it addictive! It?s got a sweet and tangy flavor that really makes you want to eat your veggies.

 

Number of Servings: 4-6
