Clare’s Green Bean Salad

July 2, 2019 by Karen Giebel Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

My mother, Clara Ruth Castleberry made this refreshing vegetable salad quite often in the summer. I still remember when I was a kid, mom sending me out to the garden to pick fresh green beans  for this delectable salad. As an adult, I eagerly anticipate the arrival of green beans in our garden so I can make it for Sparky and myself. If you do not have access to fresh green beans, frozen will work just fine. I did not intend to write up the recipe as I was just making dinner the other day, but hubby could not stop eating it and kept repeating, “Boy, this is good!” I only took a couple of photos but I think you’ll get a good idea of what it looks like. To me it looks mouthwatering good!

Are you looking for something new to make for your 4th of July celebration? Well, look no further!

Clare's Green Bean Salad

I just love the crispy crunch of the vegetables in this salad! It may seem like a "different" combination of ingredients but I can assure that this is delicious. The salty salami, the tang from the mustard powder, the bite of the radish and the simple vinaigrette will have you making this over and over again! I like adding the hard boiled eggs as it gives just a bit of creaminess to the salad, but on especially lazy days, when I don't want to boil an egg, I have left them out and I still love this!
