Time 2h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 slices bacon, cut in half
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped
1 ½ medium onions, chopped
6 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
6 tablespoons white sugar
½ cup blanched slivered almonds

Steps:

  • In a large deep skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Remove bacon to paper towels, and reserve drippings in the skillet.
  • Place fresh green beans in a large saucepan, and add enough water to cover the bottom by 1 inch. Cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain.
  • Place the green beans into a 2 quart casserole dish. Spread the onions in a layer over the green beans. Place bacon strips in a layer over the onions. Sprinkle almonds over the top. Heat the reserved drippings in the skillet over medium heat. Stir in vinegar and sugar, heating just until sugar is dissolved; drizzle over everything in the dish. Cover, and chill for at least one hour, but overnight is best.

  • Cook the green beans properly: Green beans can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, or sautéing. Cook the beans until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Use high-quality bacon: The bacon is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality bacon. Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good smoky flavor.
  • Make the balsamic vinaigrette ahead of time: The balsamic vinaigrette can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.

Conclusion:

Green beans with bacon and balsamic vinaigrette is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
