Who would have thought... lime juice and green beans. Take my word for it, SUPER YUMMY! The only change I made was cilantro instead of parsley. In my opinon parsley is a waste of time and flovor because it has none. Try it anyway you wish. The crunch and zangy punch in this dish is a knockout! Perfect for a summer picnic.
