Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans. Look for beans that are bright green and have a snap when you break them.
  • Trim the green beans before cooking. Remove the tough ends of the beans and any strings that may be present.
  • Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp. Overcooked green beans will be mushy and bland.
  • Make the vinaigrette while the green beans are cooking. This will give the flavors time to meld.
  • Use a good quality olive oil for the vinaigrette. The better the olive oil, the better the vinaigrette will taste.
  • Add some fresh herbs to the vinaigrette for extra flavor. Try basil, thyme, or oregano.
  • Serve the green beans warm or at room temperature. They can also be chilled and served as a cold salad.

Conclusion:

Green beans with Meyer lemon vinaigrette is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The bright, citrusy flavor of the vinaigrette pairs perfectly with the tender-crisp green beans. This dish is also very versatile and can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
