Green Beans With Bacon Vinaigrette
Gentl & Hyers
How to Make It
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon salt. Add the green beans and cook until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to cool; transfer to a serving bowl.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Let cool, then break into pieces.
Step 3
Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings from the skillet and return to medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the vinegar, mustard, oil, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add to the green beans, along with the bacon, and toss to combine.

I have made this for Thanksgiving for two years in a row. My extended family of 36 from coast to coast (including several chefs) insist I continue to make this annually. So delicious! It is easy to make and can (and should) be made ahead of time. The key is to start with really fresh green beans. I cooked the beans the night before (less cooking time, 4-5 minutes) and then straight into a bowl of ice water. Drain, dry thoroughly, and store wrapped in paper towels in refrigerator overnight. Take out one hour before serving and toss with dressing. This recipe is a hit.

So so so good! I used my favorite smoky mustard (Annie Mae's) and these turned out amazing. I'll have to eat clean for the rest of the week to make up for it, but they were worth it.

Excellent dish with great flavors. Next time, I will steam the beans rather than take the time to boil all that water...making it a very quick dish to prepare.

This was my favorite Thanksgiving dish. I made it in place of the classic green bean casserole and it was a HUGE success! So delicious, fresh and savory. A real hit. The dish also mixed well on the plate with stuffing and mashed potatoes. I did make the (organic) bacon in advanced and added copious amounts of bacon grease. I've already made the recipe again it was so delicious!
