This dish gives a spike to the typical Green Beans that are served at thanksgiving. The vinaigrette along with dates and oranges give a sweet and tangy touch to this traditional thanksgiving vegetable.
This delicious dish was prepared by my good friend Mamatha . She added Crushed Red Peppers and sliced almonds to enhance the flavors from the original recipe. Big thanks to Mamatha for sharing this wonderful recipe and the pic!!!
