the flavors just melded together, I added a little fresh mozzarella. I'm not a big green bean fan but I ate all of them.

I read other versions where they added ground mustard and garlic, with feta cheese, and the balsamic vinegar.

Salad was delish and light for a hot summer night. I added some lemon zest to the mix but thought it could use something else.
