Chilled Green Bean Salad

1 16 oz. can French style green beans, drained (or fresh - blanched, or frozen - lightly steamed)
1 small sweet white onion finely chopped
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 can sliced water chestnuts, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup (or more depending on your liking) fire-roasted red pepper strips
1 small can sliced mushrooms, drained and rinsed
1/2 can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
2/3 cup Canola oil
1/3 cup red wine, cider vinegar, or white balsamic (Trader Joe's)
1 t. Worcestershire sauce
5-6 dashes of hot sauce (optional)
Freshly ground pepper
1 t. fresh thyme (lemon is best) chopped

Combine liquids and seasonings; pour over veggies. Chill at least 2-3 hours or overnight.

I am going to make this for the next predicted sunny day to enjoy outside at my table in back amongst the TALL trees.

Have FUN despite the return of RAIN.

Love,

MM
