green bean salad

For the past couple of days I've been eating this green bean salad. Blanched green beans, caramelized onions, crispy bacon bits, and balsamic vinaigrette (balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, cayenne).



I've also garnished it with cheese, alternating stealing from Jonah (feta) and Amy (Danish blue). Before Amy my appreciation of blue cheese was extremely limited - to cheese plates when paired with sweets such as honey, jams, dried fruits. However, I saw her putting it in salad, and I guess the sweetness of balsamic vinegar does take the edge off.
