GREEN BEAN AND BLUE CHEESE SALAD

Green Bean and Blue Cheese Salad image

This recipe was voted a keeper by the whole family the first time I served it years ago. I like to put the beans and seasoning together in the morning, or even the day before, then add the blue cheese right before serving this salad.-Donna Cline, Pensacola, Florida
