Hi question If I wanted to serve this dish cold would I blanch the green beans longer? Or follow the receipe and chill till I wanted to serve? I want to avoid soggy beans and have the salad crisp Thanks

I made this side dish for dinner for my husband and son and we all loved it. I was watching your cooking show and you had your son on and made this dish so I had fresh green beans in the refrigerator so I decided to try the recipe. Thank you so much for a wonderful dish that we will enjoy many times in the future. I love your show...

These were amazing! I know they're supposed to be a side dish but my friend and I kept going back for more, eating them without anything else. Super easy & super affordable.

Made this for my 8 year old who loves balsamic anything...and everyone loved it. Sweet and tangy. We eat fresh veggies every night and this was a nice change from our regular green beans, also fast and easy.
