  1. I didnt have fresh green beans on hand so I used canned and I enjoyed them a lot. DH didnt do well with them but when he took some over to my mom she loved them too. Put the green beans in a skillet and added the onion and dressing then let the beans warm thru. Will be making these again when I go to the Farmer's Market and get some fresh green beans. This recipe is a definite keeper! Made and reviewed for Kittencal's Going Green For March Recipe Tag.
     
  2. This is a nice and tasty twist on green beans. I really enjoyed the flavors that the mustard and vinegar added. The oil was reduced to 2 tablespoons and worked well. The onion was tossed into the beans along with the dressing, the lid was placed on tight and they were allowed to stand a few minutes before serving. The beans were crisp tender and the onion was slightly wilted. Made for *Partying the Diabetic Way*
     
  3. I liked the fact that there was plenty of dressing to coat the green beans. I brought them to a work pot luck but they weren't touched much. Perhaps people were more interested in the sweets, rather than this healthy bean dish. I served them at room temperature.
     
  4. Loved this. Green beans are my favorite so I am always looking for different ways to prepare them. This was quick easy and delicious. I chilled mine a little before serving. Made for Potluck tag.
     
  5. I served these slightly warm and they were really tasty. I took Bakin's advice and added 1/2 t. of minsed garlic. I used fresh yellow beans instead of green. Great taste from the honeymustard and redwine vinegar. Nothing says summer than fresh veggies:-) Made for HolidayTag.
