Green Bean Salad

Green beans are one of my favorite summer vegetables.  I usually eat them sauteed in a little olive oil, but sometimes, you need something a little different.  And, probably my first go-to for something different with vegetables is some sort of salad.  This green bean salad reminds me a bit of the bean salad my mother made when I was young.  It really is not the same at all, but there is something about the flavor that brings back that memory.

This is actually the second green bean salad recipe I have made this summer, but they are really different, so they don’t compete with each other much.  I used onion powder in this recipe, but if you like onions, you might want to leave it out and put in a fresh onion.  I really don’t like onions, and they don’t make me feel good, so I used the powder.
