I usually make Italian Green Bean salad when we have a lot of company. The crisp green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and red onions seem to appeal to many people and serve many. This salad is easy to make and prepare the day before an event. Just don’t add the oil or vinegar until you are ready to serve.
