Blackberry Salad
Easy
SERVES 8
My Grandmother Galasso loved to make salads of tender young green beans and mint. She put mint in just about everything, mainly because it grew so profusely in a little patch of dirt near the kitchen door. The trick to this salad is to use very young green beans and to put the beans into the dressing while they are still hot so they will absorb the mint-infused oil.

You called for 1/2 C fresh mint. What kind of mint – there are thousands. I can’t seem to get a reply from anybody I ask. I personally grow 4 different mints.
Would appreciate a reply.

Hi, Marion,
There are many varieties, as you well know, apple, chocolate, peppermint, ginger. But Mary Ann uses fresh, non-hybrid spearmint, whenever the recipe calls for it.

I enjoy seeing Mary Ann Espiosto, I wish she would be on more ofter. Here In Perry Hall, Md. its a hit or miss to catch her show.
Why is she not on the Food Network. It has all the other nationalities but and only one Italian Chef, lets get Mary Ann on so we can see her at a regular time.
Thank You.
