What a great salad. Something different. I used frozen green beans, since fresh did not look too good. I added a little more vinigar and also a little Splenda. One of the ladiies this was served to suggested Chopped pemientoes since it would look festive for the holidays. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Ingrid
