Recipe in February Issue of Fitness Magazine

Try this similar salad from Giada De Laurentiis - Everyday Italian:

It uses edamame, green beans, yellow wax beans, and cherry tomatoes with a fresh herb vinaigrette. Read the reviews of the recipe for more info and how people adjusted the recipe.

I made this for dinner a few weeks ago and my husband LOVED it. We've had it twice since. My grocery store has a frozen bag of mixed green beans, wax beans, and carrots. So I just take the carrots out and use them for something else.

Hi L.,

I have a copy of that issue. Here's the recipe:

Asian-Style Three Bean Salad
Makes: 8 Servings

1 lb. string beans, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces

Dear L.,

If no one responds as having that issue, you might check the library. They may have a copy and you could make a copy of it there.
