Oh yum! Those beans look sooo good! I make mustard pickles and our whole family loves them! I never thought of mixing them with potatoes for a salad!
ReplyDeleteI've never had mustard beans but they sound wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOkay, where was this recipe back when my CSA gave me a bunch of yellow beans???!!!
ReplyDeleteAngie> this was a suggestion with my Bernardin cookbook and I love it. It doesn't keep overnight like the potato salads with mayonnaise but it's great.
