Serving Suggestions:

• Last week we were looking for a quick weeknight recipe to use up our CSA green beans. My wife found this recipe from NYT Cooking for a green bean salad and we used it as inspiration for an even simpler version. We snipped, blanched and shocked the beans, then tossed them in some bottled dressing, and added in roughly chopped basil, olives and cherry tomatoes. The beans were pleasantly crisp and surprisingly our four year old daughter kept asking for more!
