I'm not a big fan of leeks, so I substituted celery instead. The salad still turned out great!

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the green beans and potatoes, and they don't even notice the leeks.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little bit of salt and pepper to taste.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use some more seasoning or a more flavorful dressing.

I wasn't sure about the combination of green beans, potatoes, and leeks, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors and textures worked really well together. I'll definitely be making this salad again.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the unique combination of flavors and textures. The green beans added a nice crunch, the potatoes were perfectly tender, and the leeks added a subtle oniony flavor. The dressing was also delicio
