This salad is a great way to use up leftover green beans. I had some leftover beans from a stir-fry and this was the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of green beans, but this salad changed my mind. The capers and basil really brighten up the flavor of the beans. I'll definitely be making this again.
