Green Beans with Smokey Bacon Vinaigrette image

Sweet bacon vinaigrette lovingly caressing green beans. Discovered this combination during Thanksgiving dinner when a bottle of bacon vinaigrette was dropped onto my plate. The result was delicious. I like to add a bit of Cheddar. Bacon, green beans, and Cheddar just goes really well together for me.

Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
½ pound smoked bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 yellow onion, sliced thin
⅓ cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon white sugar
¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Make an ice bath by filling a large pot with ice and water; set aside.
  • Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the green beans in the boiling water until slightly tender yet crisp, about 3 minutes; drain. Immediately plunge the green beans into the ice bath to stop them from cooking further. Drain and set aside.
  • Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onions to the bacon and continue cooking until the onions begin to caramelize and turn golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the green beans, red wine vinegar, and sugar; cook and stir until the sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less bacon or salt in the vinaigrette.

The green beans were a bit too crisp for my liking, but the bacon vinaigrette was delicious. I would recommend cooking the beans for a few minutes longer.
