Moosewood's Swiss Green Bean Salad

Submitted by Stephanie Z.

"Perfect picnic salad! From Moosewood's The Enchanted Broccoli Forest cookbook. The original recipe calls for adding the vinegar and lemon juice at the last minute to keep the beans nice and green and crisp! Or, you can refrigerate and serve it as more of a marinated green bean salad. Delicious both ways!"
