Green Beans, Corn and Carrot Salad image

This is a sturdy, appealing picnic recipe made from haricots verts, corn and carrots. Haricots verts, by the way, are skinny green beans, but you can use regular ones instead. Like the sandwich, this salad gets even better the longer it sits, and is relatively indestructible. With all the contrasting colors, it's pretty, too.

I'm not a big fan of vegetables, but this salad is actually really good. The dressing is what makes it.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover green beans, corn, and carrots, and this salad was the perfect way to use them up. It was quick and easy to make, and it tasted delicious.
