Tips:

  • Blanch the green beans before adding them to the salad. This will help to preserve their bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices in your dressing. This will give the salad a more complex and flavorful taste.
  • Add some nuts or seeds to the salad for extra crunch. Pine nuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds are all good options.
  • Serve the salad chilled. This will help to keep it refreshing and crisp.
