Best Green Beans Ever!

My friend Susan made these for me when we worked together at Virginia Stage Company. We shared many meals, laughs and fun. She recently had to send the this to me for at least the 30th time so I thought I'd post it here to help keep track of it.

Marinated Green Beans
2 cans whole green beans, drained
3/4 cup oil
1/2 cup vinegar (tarragon is best)
1/2 cup sugar (you can use Splenda)
2 tbsp poppy seeds (really, 2 tsp is all you need)
dash of pepper
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp dry mustard
1 clove garlic, crushed

Put beans in a large covered container. Mix remaining ingredients together with a whisk, pour over beans. Refrigerate, turning several times a day. The longer they marinate the better!
