Dressing This recipe is delicious! I tried it with dried mango and cranberries, as well as fresh mango and pomegranate seeds.

While mixing the dressing, sometimes it turns into a whitish creamy delicious Dressing. But other times it stays quite yellowy and liquidy. When refrigerating it, the oil seperates it self from the rest ingredients. I can’t figure out what I’m doing differently/wrong.

Hi- the only thing I can think of that could be making this difference is if you don’t fully mix the oil and mayo together it won’t get as creamy. It would take some time to fully mix the mayo and oil until it’s nice and incorporated.

Fresh green beans is always better then frozen. I still don’t see why you shouldn’t be able to use frozen, Try it, just i think that he frozen green beans need less cooking as most of the time the frozen vegetables are softer then fresh. Enjoy it, this salad is one of my favorites.
