This is very pretty with the contrasting red onions and green beans. The parsley adds good visual interest too. I steamed this very lightly to retain crunch in the beans. I also reduced the lemon juice a bit as Mr B's not overly keen on it in salad dressings. The finished result was a very pleasant tasting side salad.

Sorry to say nobody enjoyed this much at my house. DH thought it was bland and I thought the lemon was too pronounced. Lil' sis didn't have a specific complaint. She liked it the most, but didn't think she liked it enough to eat the leftovers. Sorry, but I won't make this one again.

Great salad we had with recipe#14739, pine nuts buttered white Basmati rice, and leban, a Middle Eastern yogurt drink with fresh mint. I used sweet onion in place of red since that is what I had on hand, flat leaf Italian parsley, cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, freshly ground black pepper ans sea salt to taste, plus the rest of this ingredients. I may make this again!
