Southern Selects is known for its high quality fruits and vegetables, and we learned that they initially were served at some of the finest restaurants in the country. Over time, they decided to let others enjoy their select produce, too, and today you can find their asparagus, sugar snap peas and green beans at your local grocery. We made this delicious, colorful salad with Southern Selects French green beans, which were absolutely delicious, and we think you're going to love them, too! Enjoy!
