A very refreshing side dish. I made this dish exactly according to recipe. I would use less lemon juice.

I made these for Thanksgiving. They were a nice change from regular beans, but nothing overly amazing.

Very good. I only used a few spashes of lemon juice instead of the amount listed. I also added some bacon bits at the end.
