My grandmother made a cold green bean salad with potatoes for every family barbecue. Now I bring my own version of the recipe to parties. With added color and taste from the cherry tomatoes, this classic favorite is even better. -Angela Lemoine, Howell, New Jersey

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad was bland. I would recommend adding more salt and pepper to taste.

This salad is a bit too simple for my taste. I would add some more ingredients, such as crumbled bacon or chopped nuts.

I added some crumbled goat cheese to this salad and it was amazing! The tangy cheese really complemented the sweet tomatoes and green beans.
