Mr. Ommy Noms is a HUGE fan of green beans. If green beans are on the menu, you can bet he'll order them. I went on a quest to find a new way to put green beans on his plate and came across an interesting Ellie Krieger recipe. I had never seen green beans in a salad before and figured it was worth a shot. I made several changes to suit our tastes and the end result was very good. The mister thought it was outstanding. Figures! :-)
Based on Ellie Krieger
