Holy green beans, Batman! That is pretty much what my super-hero-obsessed three-year-old said when he saw how many green beans we picked this week at our CSA Farm.

In the interest of finding a healthy and exciting new recipe to try, I hit one of my favorite food sites, Epicurious, and found a recipe for Green Bean and Fennel Salad with Dill Pesto. A few quick alterations and we've got a dinner:

• I'm leaving out the orzo (since my son is allergic to wheat) and using brown rice instead.
• Double the amount of green beans? You bet!
• Since we have an abundance of fresh basil, I'll opt for the traditional basil pesto.
• I don't have white balsamic vinegar, so I'll use the regular type.
• To accompany this green bean salad, I'll grill some free range chicken breasts with pesto.

I'm looking forward to trying this recipe with my alterations. How would you change Epicurious' original recipe?
