This recipe tastes similar a 3 - bean salad that I used to buy at the deli, but this one has a lot more color to it and a great variety of textures. Not only does the frozen veggies save you on cleaning and chopping time, but it also omits the step of blanching. When using fresh carrots or green bean I usually have to drop them in boiling water first, to take some of their rawness out of them, and also to soften them just slightly.
