This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili flakes next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my green beans turned out mushy. I think I might have overcooked them.

I thought this dish was just okay. The green beans were a bit bland and the dressing was a bit too sweet.

So easy and tasty! I used a pre-made lemon-tahini dressing and it turned out great. Will definitely make again.
