1 Bean Salad


As another attempt to use the leftover vegetables from Sunday's dinner, I decided to say goodbye to 3 beans and just keep one in my life. The green bean.

Basing my ideas off a traditional 3-bean salad, I created a mock-3-bean dressing by combining balsamic vinegar, a little sugar, salt and pepper and herbs de Provence. I cut the leftover green beans into one inch pieces and doused them with the dressing.

The beans sat in Tupperware in the fridge until Thursday and I had them for my afternoon snack. The slight sweetness and tang of the vinegar keep me from want cookies so I call this a success!

Cold Green Bean Salad with Tarragon Dressing

I was trying to find a green bean recipe that was similar to the one Aunt Gail made for the reunion...this wasn't it, but, it was very good. I omited quite a few of the ingredients from the original recipe I found & changed it from a 2 bean salad to a 1. Here is the link.
