For best results, use fresh wax beans when they are in season. If fresh are unavailable, canned wax beans can be substituted, but be sure to drain and rinse them well. The salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavors will continue to develop over time. Feel free to adjust the sweetness and tanginess of the dressing to your liking by adding more sugar or vinegar. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing. If you don't have celery seed, you can substitute with a pinch of celery salt or omit it altogether.
