Green Bean Roll-ups

It must sound strange...a green bean sandwich?? I remember the first time that I had a green bean roll-up appetizer. It was at my friend's wedding reception back in college. I remember devouring an obscene amount of these roll-ups that night!! Oh, how I would love my 20 year-old metabolism back.......sigh........ Anyway, this combination tastes so good. Green beans have always been my favorite vegetable. I used organic canned green beans, light safflower mayonnaise and pepperidge farm 40 calorie thin sliced bread to make this appetizer recipe healthier. They are easy, but give yourself three days to make them. You marinate the beans the first day, make the roll-ups the second day and slice and eat them the following day after the flavors have mingled overnight. These roll-ups are much better on thin sliced white bread, even though I usually go for whole grain bread. I have also done half wheat and half white and let my guest choose their favorite. Enjoy~Green Bean Roll-ups
