“Unusual Italian green bean salad. Garlic and mint together - what a combo! My secret vinaigrette recipe too!” - by CELANE47

Directions

In a medium saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil, and cook the green beans 10 minutes, or until tender but crisp; drain.
Transfer green beans to a medium bowl, and mix with garlic, onion, and mint.
In a small container with a lid, mix olive oil, cider vinegar, garlic, basil, mustard, salt, and pepper. Shake until well blended. Toss into the green bean mixture.

"very tasty! Iused about 1/2 the garlic and that I thought was plenty. I also doubled the amount of mint. Be careful not to over cooked the beans> I think 6 to 7 mins. is long enough. I also used this ..." See moreas a cold bean salad. Which was delicious but make sure to cool beans befor adding ingred. Thanks!"

"The beans and mint are nice together, but there is far too much oil and garlic in the recipe. I would cut the garlic in half and use less oil, this way the salad is less slimy...." See more"

"You do taste the garlic in this recipe, but both my husband and I enjoyed the taste very much, and would rate this recipe very good. If I made any modifications, I'd increase the Mint leaves...." See more"
