You can make it a day or two ahead of time, or leave it out on the counter if you're going to eat these green beans within a few hours of making it.

Number Of Ingredients 4

green beans
olive oil
lemon juice
garlic.

Steps:

  • Blanch green beans in boiling water, then plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking.
  • Toss with a vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice and a tiny bit of minced garlic. (To turn this into a main dish, sear some tuna until crusty on the outside, but still raw in the middle. Cut into thick slices or chunks, and toss with the green beans and dressing.)

SUZANNE SOMERS' GREEN BEANS AND VINAIGRETTE



Suzanne Somers' Green Beans and Vinaigrette image

Green Beans with a garlic vinaigrette. Can serve this hot or cold and the vinaigrette can be used over other vegetables or as a salad dressing. I find that if you make the vinaigrette in advance, it allows the flavors to blend and infuse the oil. I have added Parmesan cheese, Emeril's Essence spice mix and even some splenda and honey. My kids loved it. You could use the dressing as a base and just add ingredients to taste (Dijon and Worcestershire work well too).

Provided by Sarahbeara

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Green Beans

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 slices bacon
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
½ cup finely chopped onion
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup white vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dry mustard
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add green beans, cover, and steam until tender-crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving grease in the skillet. Saute onion in the bacon grease until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in brown sugar, vinegar, salt, mustard, and pepper. Stir well, scraping up any onion bits off the bottom of the skillet. Cook until bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans. Look for beans that are bright green in color and have no blemishes. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans. Snap off the ends of the beans and remove any strings. You can also cut the beans into smaller pieces if desired.
  • Blanch the green beans. This will help to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the vinaigrette. Combine the olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined.
  • Toss the green beans with the vinaigrette. In a large bowl, combine the blanched green beans, tomatoes, red onion, and vinaigrette. Toss to coat.
  • Serve immediately. Green beans with vinaigrette are best served immediately, while they are still warm. You can also chill the beans and serve them cold.

Conclusion:

Green beans with vinaigrette is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh green beans from your garden, and it is also a healthy and flavorful side dish. With just a few ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and healthy dish that your family and friends will love.
