Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Blanch Green Beans

Add beans to large pot of boiling water; cook, uncovered, 3 min. Drain. Immediately plunge beans into bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Cool completely. Drain beans, then pat dry before using as directed.

Make Ahead

Prepare ingredients as directed; place each in separate airtight container. Refrigerate up to 24 hours before assembling salad as directed.

My family loved these all the flavors in this salad. Our children were picking at it to begin with then dived right in and said "this is the best salad we've had"! My husband agreed. Perfect for a quick night meal, didn't blanch the green beans, still good!

This salad was so good! Even my carnivore husband loved it. I added garbanzo beans and avocado and left out the onions. I will definitely make this again!

Excellent recipe! I prepared this over the July 4th for my friends who really enjoyed it. I replaced croutons with grape tomatoes.

I really enjoyed this salad. I did leave out the onions and instead of balsamic vinaigrette, I used light Italian.
