This is a flavorful, simple way to dress up plain steamed green beans for an easy side dish that practically cooks itself while you are getting the rest of the meal together. 

Blue Cheese Green Beans

I was a little hesitant when I first tried this recipe. My sons usually don't care for green beans, and I thought they wouldn't be fond of the blue cheese. To my pleasant surprise, they loved every bite. 

Marinated Green Beans with Olives, Tomatoes, and Feta

Submitted by: Lynne23235 
Just like the name of the dish implies, this recipe makes a lovely side dish of green beans, kalamata olives, and tomatoes. These items are tossed with red wine vinegar, garlic, and oregano before being finished with a sprinkling of feta cheese. Allow the flavors to marinate together overnight for even better results. 

Green Beans with Blue Cheese

My sister-in-law gave me this great, simple recipe. Green beans are sauteed in bacon fat, then tossed with toasted nuts and crumbled blue cheese. Very rich and quite fattening, but great for holidays!

This super-easy side dish utilizes the bounty of late summer and is the perfect companion to whatever you are grilling - in fact, the stove can be turned on while the meat is resting from the grill. The sweet acidity of the berries balances the entire meal, and the fresh oregano brings out the best of both the berries and the beans. It's a beautiful, unusual side dish that leaves guests, and even finicky family, raving.

Once upon a time, Dad received a similar recipe with a bundle of fresh green beans. He made the recipe once and then lost the card. After many attempts to recreate that flavor, he declares that this, his own recipe, is even better!
