This salad is both beautiful and delicious! I used fresh green beans, and substituted white kidney beans for the garbanzos, as I don't care for them. The tarragon brings a very nice, fresh flavor to the dressing that I enjoyed very much. I agree with the other reviewer, that fresh green beans should be used if at all possible, as the gorgeous vibrant color is part of what makes this so good. I'll be making this again, very soon!

I had 4 at dinner tonight, myself, DH, DS and the 17 yr old neighbor who's mom is away for a couple of days. The only problem with this is that ratings on this salad were all over the board from 2 up to 5. I liked it a lot and I think that the tarragon helped my opinion. I need to mention that you really should use fresh green beans here if at all possible . Luckily I bought some a couple of days age and the crispness of the beans and their fresh taste really made the salad. I found it to be a lovely summer choice.
