Green Bean Mediterranean Salad

VeegMama's recipe for Mediterranean Green Bean Salad

This might just be my favorite new way to prepare green beans!  This recipe is light and refreshing, perfect for a main dish lunch salad, but could also easily be served as a side dish for dinner.  I used a bag of Trader Joe's pre-washed French cut green beans for this recipe to make the prep even easier.  I hope you enjoy it.
