Green Bean Salad

"This is a simple and easy salad that my Italian family always makes when we are not in the mood for lettuce. We eat some type of salad with almost all our meals. My grandmother would always bring Mentuccia (wild mint) back from her trips to Italy but here we just use fresh or dried mint. Some times I use lemon juice instead of vinegar. Your choice. Also you can garnish with lemon slices."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Although I am Italian, I love to cook many different foods. My husband and I had a very successful restaurant in our small historic town and we would do many different specialty night. I had a chef, but most of the menu items were things I have grown up eating or have made throughout my life time. I love entertaining and feeding people. I have two young grandchildren who I enjoy. Cooking runs in the family. From the time I was born I remember going to my "nonna's" for Sunday Italian meals. Homemade everthing. She and my mother and aunt would spend hours preparing the food.
