GREEN BEAN AND WALNUT SALAD (MTSVANI LOBIOS PKHALI)



Green Bean and Walnut Salad (Mtsvani Lobios Pkhali) image

An excellent salad to go with a Russian Barbeque! For a crunchier salad, serve it soon after adding the dressing; for a more piquant flavor, make it the day before to allow the green beans to soak up the flavors of the garlic, vinegar, and walnut .
