This was great! I made it for a cookout with my friends and everyone loved it and wanted the recipe. I doubled the recipe except for the oil and vinegar I only did a single recipe of that and it worked out perfect. We are having another cookout in 3 weeks and they said you can bring anything you want but if I wanted to bring the green beans again that would be fine with them!

I thought the salad was pretty yummy, but my boyfriend, who is usually not very picky, did not like it at all. So I had to eat it all...

Nice combination of flavors, I was the only one who would eat it though. I probably won't make it again simply because I couldn't eat the entire recipe myself!

I decided to make this for some company only to realize I didn't have red onion or balsamic vinegar but they were already on their way over! So, I used malt vinegar and yellow onion instead and hoped for the best. It was wonderful! The company loved them and my hubby wants me to make them again SOON. If it can be this good with the wrong ingredients, I can't wait to try the correct ones!

Great recipe! Had a few changes for what I had on hand. Sauteed the onion in olive oil and used almonds instead of pecans, which I sauteed in olive oil as well, so didn't use anymore oil in recipe. Used Gargonzola cheese instead of blue cheese. Also used apple cider vinegar b/c I did not have basalmic vinegar. After everything- tasted fantastic!!! love it!

This was the most wonderful side dish I've had in quite some time. I made enough for six and my husband had three helpings! I've made it twice since I found the recipe and everyone loves it. The only thing I tweaked was a little less oil & vinegar. Otherwise, it's a permanent fixture in my own recipe book. Thanks!

This in a one word, FANTASTIC! My husband made this and it was amazing. So simple, so delicious with wonderful flavors. I couldn't stop nibbling! We omitted the pecans, but no worries, this is a wonderful side dish that would compliment any meal. This is a definite keeper!

Great flavors as long as the green beans are done enough. Almonds work just as well as pecans. I prefer it with a little more blue cheese than the recipe calls for.

Very good. I made it as posted for an Easter gathering and it was well received as a vegetable dish and/or salad. I do agree the oil and vinegar amounts could be cut.

My fiance and I both LOVED the recipe. Will definitely make it again, but will probably decrease the amount of oil and vinegar, as others have suggested.

I altered this one just slightly... I used toasted walnuts rather than pecans because I had them on hand. (But I'm sure either would work fine!) And I used a garlic vinegrette dressing; I didn't measure it though, just poured enough on to coat the beans. Don't over cook the green beans; you want them to have a nice snap to them. I would suggest shocking them in ice water too so they keep a sharp green color. I served this to company last night with Orzo With Parmeasn and Basil, (from this website) and filet mignons. Everyone loved it! I'm always looking for a new type of salad and this one was marvelous! A definite keeper!

This is a great dish. I revised the recipe slightly. I sparingly coated the beans with oil and used Balsamic spray salad dressing instead of straight Balsamic vinegar. Also, deleted the nuts. Unless you really like your food well salted, suggest you leave it out - Blue Cheese provides enough salt for the recipe.

This is a good, quick way to serve green beans to company. It was fresh and delicious. 4 stars because although it is yummy, I would make it only occasionally.

I love these flavor combinations. I had to get some more fresh green beans today to make more. This is really delicious the 2nd day too.

This looked better than it tasted. Some salt should be added while boiling the beans. The concept was good though. Thanks for the recipe.

This was a great cold side dish for our Thanksgiving dinner. The only thing I changed was replacing 1 Tbs. of the balsamic vinegar with Apple Cider vinegar. Will definitely make again!!

This was a nice way to do beans. My kids loved it I wasnt that rave about it but will make it again as 100% better than just plain old beans.

Very nice variety. Easy to make ahead and serve chilled at a picnic. I cut back on the pecans a little.

To my surprise the flavors complemented one another very nicely. I did not love this dish but my husband and co-workers did. It was easy to make, so I will do so again. BTW - I followed another users advice and just used an Italian dressing that I liked...much easier than the oil ect..

YUMMY - I increased the blue cheese, only "coated" the beans with oil/balsamic, and replaced pecans with walnuts. Still good.
