James’ Oriental Salad
Sometimes it just comes to me. I am sitting peaceful and the ingredients kind of flow into my head. The original idea was about Asparagus but when I didn’t seem to have any in my fridge, I decided to use green beans as the main thing, although asparagus would be even better I think. Either way, this a great summer salad.
