The salad was good, but I think I would have liked it better with a different dressing. The vinaigrette was a bit too oily for my taste.

Just okay. The vinaigrette was a bit too tart for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of green beans, but this salad was actually pretty good. The vinaigrette was really flavorful and the beans were nice and crisp.

I love this salad! It's so refreshing and summery. I've made it several times now, and it's always a hit.

This was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the unique combination of flavors. I used a store-bought vinaigrette, but I think I'll try making my own next time.

Great recipe! I used fresh green beans from my garden and they were perfect. The vinaigrette was also very good, with just the right amount of tanginess. I will definitely be making this salad again.

This was the easiest and most delicious green bean salad I've ever made! The vinaigrette was perfect, and the beans were so crisp and flavorful, even after chilling overnight. I will definitely be making this again and again.
