This salad is a great way to use up leftover green beans. I also added some chopped red onion and it was delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I expected. The dressing was too oily and the green beans were undercooked.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could use a little more seasoning.
