These are good! Dr. Weil likes strong flavors, because this is another one of his recipes that has strong sesame and soy flavors. I like the flavors but to keep them subtle, I kept the dressing separate rather than pouring it into the beans and tossing. I served the dressing on the side so everybody could decide how strong in flavor they would like their salad to be. Love Dr. Weil, thanks for posting!!!

My garden is doing so well this year, that we could eat green beans every night! I need lots of good recipes. I really like the one my Chiropractor gave me, Recipe #327131, last night we had Recipe #133821, tonight your fine recipe... and tomorrow, who knows...<br/><br/>I did not have any red onions, so I used Shallots... grated the ginger, because I can ;-) and did it directly into the sauce (used only about half the sauce, and will save it for other things). We had leftovers... leftover chicken, leftover rice, and the green beans waiting for me to figure out what to do... I was certainly not expecting this! They worked so well together, I know this will be a repeat menu, with your beans the star!<br/><br/>Thank you so much for such a different and delicious recipe!
