Kraft Kitchens Tips

Special Extra

Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Substitute

Substitute 2 cups steamed cut fresh asparagus for the fresh green beans.

Special Extra

If you prefer your fresh green beans to be more tender, quickly cook or blanch them by adding the beans to boiling water for 1 to 2 min. Then, remove them from the boiling water and immediately plunge them in ice water to stop the cooking process.

This was simple and so good. I hate to be in the kitchen but I made this for a potluck and it was easy and everyone liked it. I put a little more Italian dressing though.

I made this recipe for our Mother's Day cookout and almost the entire bowl was still full! It was the worst spring salad I've ever made! I even added some red onion and gorgonzola cheese. I will NOT be making this again. Just not a good combo of ingredients.

Made this ahead for Father's Day- Big hit-it was quick, easy & very yummy. Also a plus that the ingredients were cheap and not many needed.

I meant to rate this when I made it this summer, forgot. It was delicious. I am making it for a Christmas buffet.

I loved it, but would blanch/steam the green beans next time. I like them raw, but others would like them better a little bit softer. Fast and easy thing to take to a last minute potluck or office lunch.

Great way to get your veggies! We felt it was missing something but couldnt figure out what. Guess we will have to experiment. Will make this dish again!

I make this every few weeks and whenever we have guests. I add chopped red onion and whatever fresh peppers I have on hand. It's always a favorite.

I added a 6 oz can of drained tuna and it makes a delicious meal!

I also used Black Eyed Peas and Chick Peas w/ the others. Crumbled Feta w/Tomato Basil makes a great topping. Everyone loved it.
