by RosieGirl, 5/16/2010Great combination. Followed the recipe except cut the final 5 tablespoons of oil down to 2, which was sufficient. The Mint and lemon complemented the rest of the ingredients perfectly, and brought out the flavors of the green beans nicely. The mint makes it so refreshing - great for the summer!
