Recipe by Outta Here

A light summertime salad. Use the mix of green and yellow beans, or just one kind. Use red and yellow tomatoes. Fresh tarragon works best. Can be made the night before (store beans and dressing separarely in refrigerator). Bring to room temperature before tossing. Great for a picnic because it has no egg or dairy to spoil.
