Green beans treated to a mushy miso dressing

This salad of green beans with a miso dressing is the third of the very popular salads which served for the Tried and Supplied founder’s Big Birthday. The other two were the super-simple slightly Asian carrot and fennel salad; and the golden fragrant salad of cauliflower and turmeric.

This way of serving beans is also good hot, as an accompaniment.
