Notes
For a crunchier texture, do not overcook the green beans. Feel free to add more vegetables like bell peppers or cucumbers for extra color and nutrients. If you like it a bit spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing. The salad can stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to three days in an airtight container.
