Peas and Beans With Lemon Dressing
I made this recipe several years ago, and the family loved it. The next time I went to make it I had lost the recipe, and tried to make it by memory but it was never the same. I found it again today in one of my old cookbooks, and now I know why it never turned out the same, I had forgotten half the ingredients! So I am posting it here on zaar, just in case I loose it again.
