QUICK GREEN BEAN SALAD

June 12, 2017

THIS SALAD. We marinade some chicken breasts and grill them up to go with these and it is an picturesque summer dinner. Nicely salted green beans are one of my favorite vegetables. When prepared well I might even take them over french fries. I know. Add in a sweet vidalia onion, grape tomatoes, and a really easy lemon vinaigrette and it becomes this really light, fresh green bean salad. And again, a balsamic chicken as well!
