1 1/4 pounds green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tips:

  • Choose fresh green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the green beans. You can also remove the strings from the beans if desired.
  • Cook the green beans properly: Green beans can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, sautéing, and roasting. Be careful not to overcook the green beans, as they will become mushy.
  • Use high-quality bacon: The quality of the bacon will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good smoke flavor.
  • Make sure the balsamic vinegar is of good quality: Balsamic vinegar can range in price from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars. A good-quality balsamic vinegar will have a complex flavor with notes of sweetness, acidity, and fruitiness.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, thyme, and oregano, can add a lot of flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs.
  • Serve the green beans warm or at room temperature: Green beans can be served warm or at room temperature. If you are serving them warm, reheat them gently to avoid overcooking them.

Conclusion:

Green beans with bacon and balsamic vinaigrette is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The green beans are crisp and tender, the bacon is smoky and flavorful, and the balsamic vinaigrette adds a touch of sweetness and acidity. This dish is also very versatile and can be served as a side dish or a main course.
