EASY COLD GREEN BEAN SALAD
What makes this cold green bean salad so good is that the beans marinate while they are still warm--that way the beans soak up the vinaigrette and become more flavorful.

EAT YOUR BEANS! EASY FRESH GREEN BEAN SALAD
A handy little recipe that I adapted from a pretty generic looking Mexican cookbook that I have. The original recipe calls for feta cheese, so that's an option if you eat dairy. I think it's a great dish without the cheese but also plan to incorporate Recipe #364732 into it next time. Great way to use fresh beans from your garden, they are the star of the dish!

Steps:
- Bring about 2 inches of water to boil in the bottom of a steamer. Add the beans to the top part, cover and let steam until tender but still firm (about 4-5 minutes). You really want to retain their crispness. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. You could also dunk them into a ice water bath. Drain well and pat dry.
- While the beans cook, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, mustard and garlic and season to taste with S&P. (If using feta you likely won't want any salt).
- Place the cooled beans into a bowl with the onions, cilantro, radish slices, oregano and toss together with the dressing. Adjust seasoning.
- Transfer to a serving platter. Surround the beans with the tomato wedges for garnish. Chill until ready to serve.
EASY GREEN BEAN POTATO CASSEROLE
This is a very easy dish I made by throwing together ingredients I had lying around the house. It can be jazzed up by replacing the cheddar with pepper jack cheese. I also like to boil pickled jalepenos with my potatoes to infuse them with spice. This makes a great side dish or make it a meal by adding ground turkey or chicken.

EASY CHEESY SAUSAGE AND GREEN BEAN SKILLET PASTA RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to Broil on High. Heat olive oil in a deep skillet, and brown your sausage over a medium high heat. Add in onion, and saute until fragrant, about a minute. Pour 3 cups of water over the top, add in snipped green beans and quick cook pasta, turn heat to high. Set timer, and cook for 10 minutes. At the end of 10 minutes, pour Bertolli sauce over the top, and stir in. Let simmer 2-3 more minutes. Top with cheese, and put in in the oven to broil until cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve. NOTES If you can't find the Pronto or quick cook pasta, then just cook your pasta according to package directions, and remove water from the ingredient list. Instead, sautee green beans with the sausage and onion and move on to step 6 in the directions.
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 beans. Remove the ends of the beans and any strings that may be present.
- Blanch the beans. Blanching helps to preserve the beans' color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then, drain the beans and immediately place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Sauté the beans. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beans and cook, stirring frequently, until they are tender and slightly browned. You can add other ingredients to the skillet, such as garlic, onion, or bacon.
- Season the beans. Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to the beans. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar.
Conclusion:
Green beans are a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be prepared in a variety of ways. Whether you sauté them, steam them, or roast them, green beans are a healthy and flavorful addition to any meal. Experiment with different recipes and seasonings to find the perfect way to enjoy this popular vegetable.
Here are a few additional tips for cooking green beans:
- If you are short on time, you can skip the blanching step. However, blanching the beans will help to preserve their color and crispness.
