Very good, light summer green bean salad. Perfect accompaniment to burgers.

First time I boiled the green beans and they tasted watery. Second time, I roasted as suggested by another reviewer. I also used about 1/2 the garlic called for, and added red pepper flakes. It was delicious!

Good, not great. I think the amount of garlic was a bit much and I'm usually a big fan. The garlic and shallot need to be very finely minced. The final product is much improved by letting it sit in the fridge for several hours.

I made this recipe for myself, my husband and two guests. I was excited about the recipe because I usually love bean salad. This was just really bad. No one ate it, including me. I do not know what it was about the dish that did not work, but it was just not appealing to any of us (none are picky eaters)?

I haven't seen any mention of boiled white potatoes to this dish. I do, and the outcome is wonderful. The potatoes soak up the oil and the red wine vinegar along with the fresh green beans and it is amazing. Having it set over night is a must.

A nice change from plain green beans. My husband ate these so that's saying something. I never thought he'd eat these cold! I used steam in bag green beans. I used a little less olive oil and substituted red onion for the shallot. I also added a few shakes of red pepper flakes to give it a little kick. It marinated for 6 hours in the fridge. It had just enough tang from the balsamic and the garlic taste was a bit much, but it was still good.

Wonderful combo of flavors. I was worried about the vinegar but everything melded so well. I let mine marinate for about 3 hours. Can't wait for the left overs tommorrow!

Good balsamic dressing, but it completely overwhelmed the taste of the green beans.

I added some pepper and other spices to give it a little extra flavor. I took it to a potluck and people loved it.

This recipe turned out very good. I took the advice of other reviewers and boiled the beans a little longer to make them a little more tender and added feta cheese. My picky husband thought it was "ok", but my parents who were joining us for dinner really liked it and my mom took the recipe home.

It was ok and nice of a marinade but definitely way too much marinade. Cutting in 1/2 would be fine. Added salt and let marinade for 7 hours.

I actually forgot to take these to the dinner we were going to on Sunday so I left them in the fridge and took them to a birthday party the following day. They were actually better after sitting for close to 24 hours! I was afraid they might turn mushy but not at all. Will definitely make these again. They are a great refreshing summer side dish!

Best side ever! The sweet crunchiness of the green beans with the rich tang of the vinegar compliment every picnic. This is my family's favorite Thanksgiving side. I always have to make extras so people can have leftovers!

I needed a side dish for the 4th of July supper. I did a quick search for a recipe. This was the one I found and it was truly awesome. Because I didn't do this in advance I did not get to let it sit as long as I will the next time. Great recipe, I strongly recommend it.

i found Yngvai Malmsteve's review very useful for starting points. though i think 14 minutes baking time was too much, i think 10 will leave the beans more crisp and less wilted. i also left my marinade separate and refrigerated it for 24 hrs to meld all the flavors. i added sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese and pine nuts. was good, but must eat right then as it doesn't save well.

This was good and very simple. I used half raw garlic and half roasted garlic (I had some left from another recipe), and it gave the salad a wonderful flavor that wasn't overpowering. I lightly blanched the beans and served them over romaine. I actually liked it better over the lettuce than just the beans by themselves; it gave a nice variation to the texture.

As written I give this recipe a 3, but I felt it needed more. So the next time I made it, I changed it. I am allergic to garlic so used more shallots instead. I roasted my green beans at 425 degrees for about 12 minutes. My beans had been resting atop a plastic baggie full of fresh dill, and they picked up that flavor, so I thought what they hey. I'll just add a couple of tablespoons of chopped dill to the recipe. I also took the suggestion of others and added some cheese to it. I used Swiss, since I had that on hand. I decided not to use as much oil and vinegar. I used about half. This dish was great. I'll make it again, but using my recipe instead. It brought the recipe up to a four or five. Even my husband who is not that fond of green beans liked this recipe.

In addition to the beans, I added fresh asparagus spears cut to the same length of the beans. I sprinkled salt, pepper, parsley and garlic powder into the vinegar and olive oil before pouring onto the salad.
