Can’t you use fresh vegetables vs frozen?

  I have made this dish using fresh green beans & fresh corn & it's great. I think the recipe uses frozen because they are precooked & flash frozen. I used corn on the cobbets & sliced the corn off the cob & precooked fresh green beans as well. Fresh is better & frozen is better before using canned. I bet you could get a small bag of frozen mixed veggies & it would be great!!

  Love this recipe and prepare something similar. Going to try this dressing recipe, it looks wonderful. I use all fresh vegetables in summer, and frozen is a wonderful alternative when fresh is not in season or at a premium price.
  
  Toss in some tuna, chicken or turkey and that's a great meal. Don't care for parsley? Swap out for cilantro, basil, dill, whatever herb you and your family and friends enjoy.
  
  An excellent recipe to customize with what one might have on hand. We love carrots so I always include in many dishes.

  Yes you can definitely use fresh and I recommend those! Frozen is what I had on hand this time, and in a pinch they are great because they have already been cooked :) I don’t recommend canned for this recipe as they might be lacking crunch 😊

  Nothing is great for everybody. This looks like a great choice for those that like vegetables. You can’t please everybody all the time.

  Your point is . . . ? You could write that sentence after literally every recipe that anyone has ever posted. And it means nothing.

  Why write that??? Of course, not everyone likes every recipe! It’s quite simple… if you don’t like it then don’t make it!!
  I think it sounds yummy and I am planning to make it… OFTEN!!!

  Why would you write that? It's rude and irrelevant. Can you provide a single recipe that 100% of people like?You can't because there isn't one.
