LEMON-SESAME GREEN BEANS
There's a kabob shop in Charlottesville, Virginia, called Sticks and it has wonderful sides, including sesame beans. I love them so much that I had to make my own version. You can use fresh or frozen green beans; haricots verts (French green beans) work well, too. This salad only gets better as it sits, so it's great (and convenient!) to make a day or two in advance. -Dyan Carlson, Kents Store, Virginia

This is from Real Simple. Green Beans are DH's favorite, so I'm always looking for new ways to fix them.
