This dish was a total disaster! The pickled green beans were mushy and the smoked salmon dip was curdled. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I will definitely not be making this dish again.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. The pickled green beans were not very flavorful, and the smoked salmon dip was too mild. I think I'll try adding some more spices to the beans and dip next time.

This dish was a bit too tangy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said the pickled green beans were the perfect complement to the creamy smoked salmon dip. I think I'll try making the dish again with less vinegar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of smoked salmon, but I loved this dish! The pickled green beans were so crisp and tangy, and the dip was creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this dish again, even without the smoked salmon.
