Special
Touch
Garnish the salad with green onion curls. Using the green part of
the onion, make several lengthwise slits from top to about 1 inch
from the bottom. Place in ice water at least 30 minutes or until curled.
Variation
To add another splash of color, toss 1 cup whole kernel corn with
the beans. |
