I used every color preservation trick I know (shocking them, no acids, lid off while boiling, etc) and they still turned green. So I just called them magic beans, lol.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861482393432330011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278158693142089183.post-79700560202761807442012-09-16T16:37:02.226-04:002012-09-16T16:37:02.226-04:00I wish I had a farmer's market this good!I wish I had a farmer's market this good!Blond Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09404456624316008610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278158693142089183.post-47602699104894067592012-09-13T11:35:03.265-04:002012-09-13T11:35:03.265-04:00This salad sounds so yummy!

Mine turned when cooked too. I read later that steaming may help them hold their color or eat them raw. Sadly I haven't seen them since to see if steaming works. I'll be on the lookout this weekend at our market and try your recipe.<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.com
