Fantastic Cold Green Bean Salad

I just ran across this recipe and typed it for my files; it looks as if we'd enjoy it for special occasions, so am posting it here, too, in the hopes that someone else might get some use from it. These great dressings can often turn the most humble of ingredients into wonderful dishes.

Fantastic Cold Green Bean Salad

1/2 c olive oil
1/8 c white wine vinegar
1 1/2 T lemon juice
1/4 t paprika
1/4 t dry mustard
1 1/2 t dill weed
(2) 1-lb cans green beans, cut or whole, drained
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 c mayonnaise
4 T sour cream
1/4 c blue cheese
2 bunches green onions, chopped
1 1/2 – 2 cucumbers, sliced

Make a dressing with the olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, paprika, dry mustard, dill weed, salt and pepper. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream and blue cheese to the mixture. Pour over the green beans and marinate two hours before serving. Add the green onions and cucumber and toss lightly when ready to serve. 6-8 servings.
