GREEN BEAN AND WAX BEAN SALAD WITH TABASCO VINAIGRETTE
Altered slightly from a recipe off tabasco.com. For this salad, I used yellow (wax) beans for half the amount of green beans. Any greens will work in the salad: baby spinach, frisee, crisp romaine, collards, as long as they're super fresh. Go ahead if you wish and substitute another variety of Tabasco sauce: Chipotle for a smokier flavor, Habanero for a fiery hot flavor, etc. (You may have to reduce the amount indicated.)
