Warm Green Bean Salad

June 29, 2020 by Benjamin and Koshiki Leave a Comment

Warm Green Beans Salad_MainThis is a perfect dish to make when you have an abundance of green beans during hot summer months. You may substitute green beans with eggplants, shishito peppers, okra, peppers, or zucchini or all of them because the combinations are endless.

Although the vibrant color of the green beans will diminish, this dish holds well in the refrigerator until the next day.

Homemade ponzu sauce is easy to make and way better than the store-bought. Click here. for our ponzu sauce recipe.

This dish was purchased in Suwa, during our Culinary Tour to Japan.
