Cold String/Green Bean Salad With Pine Nuts and Currants

"Another super easy from my friend Amy! She let me borrow her recipe box! I had a lot of fun browsing last night. I am not sure how many this serves so I guessed. It calls for 1 1/2 lbs. of beans. When you steam the beans, don't overcook them; they should be bright green and still firm but cooked. I forgot to mention cooking the beans so this is an update (thanks Sugarpea)! Let the beans sit at room temperature and serve cold."

  1. Lovely! I added the nuts just before serving, not to get them soggy.
     
  2. Very nice green bean salad. I especially liked the addition of the pine nuts (I toasted them) and currants.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
