Tips:

For the freshest flavor, use young green beans. If using older beans, be sure to trim the ends and remove any tough strings.
Blanching the green beans in boiling water for a few minutes will help to preserve their color and crispness.
Adding a little bit of sugar to the dressing will help to balance out the acidity of the vinegar.
If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh.
This salad is best served immediately, but it can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
