The green beans were picked over & didn’t look so good. Additionally, they have a lot of ‘curl’ so they won’t fit nicely into a pint jar. I give up on dilly beans!
I have a 5-bean salad recipe from the Silver Palate Chefs and have made it before - very tasty & nothing like the jarred/canned bean salad you get in the store. I think that is what I’ll make for a cold side dish that has a fresh taste & a little tang to it (red wine vinegar, olive oil, Dijon, garlic, lemon zest).
