2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups Hellman’s mayo
1/4 cup parmesen cheese
2 Tbsp fresh, lemon juice (Not lemonade–I use Minute Maid frozen lemon juice)
2 teaspoon worchestershire sauce
2 teaspoon Dijon mustard (Plain)

Mix together, let stand in refrigerator to blend flavors at least an hour. Mix with Romaine lettuce (torn), add tomatoes, croutons, sprinkle with fresh grated parmesan cheese. Great with the addition of grilled chicken *** pieces.

Arrange the following in layers in crock or large bowl:
Whole green beans, cleaned
4 cloves garlic, peeled & quartered
1 dried hot pepper (or hot pepper flakes)
fresh dill

Boil 2 quarts water, 1 cup vinegar, 4 Tbls. canning salt, and 12-24 whole all spice.

Pour over beans (or pickles). Add water if necessary to cover vegetables. Cover & let sit 1-2 days on counter. Then pack in jars or plastic containers and refrigerate.

These are like a Claussen pickle product. It’s NOT canned or processed to seal and put on your shelf. They get eaten up too fast!
