Honey Tips

How Honey Is Created

Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add salt if desired. Add string beans and cook for 4 minutes. Remove immediately to a colander with slotted spoon.
Using the same pot of water, cook pasta until just al dente. Rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly.
In a large bowl combine next 4 ingredients. Add green beans and drained pasta.
Combine mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, honey and celery salt. Mix dressing into salad. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
