CHINESE GREEN BEAN SALAD BY DR ANDREW WEIL



Chinese Green Bean Salad by Dr Andrew Weil image

from his website. He writes, "This bright green, crunchy salad is bursting with Asian flavors and is so easy to prepare. Look for fresh, plump organic green beans if you can find them. Cook them until they are bright green and still crunchy-tender. At this point you can keep the green beans refrigerated. Toss them with the dressing just before serving or the acid in the dressing will dull the bright green color."
