Anyone have a cold green bean salad or dish recipe? Bought a huge bag of them & I'm hoping to come up with something cold for lunches.

I love them made this way.
Green bean and potato salad with vinegar, olive oil, minced onion and or garlic. Use liquid from cooking green beans to cut the acidity of the vinegar. Can be eaten hot or at room temperature.
Green bean rosemary lemon pickles! I will have to dig out the recipe.

Some basil goes well with the green bean potato salad.A very common dish throughout the Mediterranean is green bean salad with potato ... the spices, herbs and varieties of the green beans and the potatoes, as well as the dressings vary from country to country, however, here is mine.
500 grams of baby new potatoes ( washed well and sliced in half )
250g Fresh French Green Beans ( slim variety string beans )
1/4 cup olive oil
2 dry red chili peppers broken and sprinkled on the potatoes and then tossed
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tblsp vinegar of choice ( I use Rasberry or Balsamic or Sherry or Red wine or white wine )
Herbs chopped finely ( choice is numerous )
1. boil potato halves in salted water 17 to 20 mins approx. until tender
2. boil salted water, and place string beans in a separate pot, ( not with potatoes ) and boil for 2 to 3 minutes until tender until the water is a vibrant green
3. strain the green beans
3. let the veggies cool at room temperature
4. prepare the dressing: mix the olive oil with the vinegar and the garlic and the chili pepper in a F.P. or with an Electric Mixer or by Hand.
5. When the veggies are cool, dress them with the vinaigrette and toss. Sprinkle the minced herbs and toss.
One can add cherry tomato, hard boiled egg or Proscuitto di Parma as garnish ...
