Such a simple, tasty way to "dress" green beans in a quick toss of mayonnaise, soy sauce and if you like, hot sauce. The same sauce works with other vegetables too! ~recipe & photo updated 2015~

2007: At coffee with a new friend the other day, the conversation leaned to books and recipes. (Yoohoo, a new reading friend! Yay, a new foodie friend!) Marie shared a colleague's recipe from some 25 years ago. It's so simple, it's not even a "recipe" – just beans tossed in a sauce of mayonnaise and soy sauce. But I've made it twice now and it's amazing that something this easy can be this good. Would the same mayo-soy sauce work with steamed broccoli? cooked cabbage? Brussels sprouts? cauliflower? I think so. And frozen vegetables? For sure!
2015: I use this simple little sauce so often, one vegetable after another – that said, it remains a particular favorite for green beans, quick, cheap, approachable. These days, I usually add a touch of hot sauce too, it adds a nice edge! For summer, I even serve the beans chilled!
COMPLIMENTS!
