1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 lb green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp green beans for the best flavor and texture.
  • Blanch the green beans briefly to retain their vibrant color and crispness.
  • Use high-quality bacon for the best flavor. Thick-cut bacon is especially good.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy but not overcooked.
  • Use a variety of vinegar in the dressing for a unique flavor. Balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and white wine vinegar are all good options.
  • Add some fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, or chives, to the salad for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Serve the salad immediately after making it, or chill it for later.
