CURRIED GREEN BEAN SALAD

I developed this recipe as a last-minute alternative to traditional cold bean salad. It's not overly spicy, and it went over well with both kids and adults. For those who love curry, this is an easy way to add a perked-up vegetable to a summertime menu. Lemon juice can be used in place of rice vinegar. Can be served immediately or refrigerated to blend flavors. For faster preparation, substitute dried versions of any of the flavorings (adjusting the amounts).

CURRIED CAULIFLOWER AND GREEN BEAN SALAD

Really liked this and hope you do too. I made with 1 teaspoon of curry powder which was very mild. Sort of wonder if it shouldn't be more-I did double the original amount already. Depends upon how well you like curry, I guess. From the May 2010 issue of Food & Wine. Topped ours with recipe#418884 b/c I had made it earlier and it was perfect on this too. This can be made ahead too. The roasted curried vegetables can be refrigerated separately overnight. The croutons can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature overnight.
