Varicose Veins (Salad)


15 ½ ounces - French-style green beans
1 head - Iceberg lettuce
6 tablespoons - Almonds (sliced)
Red food coloring


Heat the beans in their liquid according to the directions on the can. Wash and dry the lettuce and arrange the leaves on a serving platter. Pour the beans and liquid into a glass bowl. Add red food coloring, drop by drop, until the liquid turns the color of blood. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the beans and place them in a "veinlike" pattern on top of the leaves. Sprinkle almonds over the beans for and added bony crunch and flavor.
