I agree with another reviewer in that this was lacking something. I used pecans instead of walnuts, other than that no changes were made. I found this to be on the bland side so, I added more seasoned salt, some garlic powder and finaly a little butter. It was better with the changes. I haven't decided yet wheather I will make this again. Thanks for sharing though!

Wonderful! I made the batch for 12. I was shy about 1/4 lb of fresh beans, but luckily I had one small bag of organic frozen to mix in. It didn't make a bit of difference. I left some of the fresh beans a bit long since it looks so nice. I prepped the beans the day before, then boiled and ran them under cold water before I left for the Thanksgiving dinner. I also made up the oil and garlic mixer and put that in a container to take with us along with the chopped walnuts. Once the turkey was coming out of the oven I sauted the beans in the oil, garlic, salt, pepper, onion powder and celery salt, then added the walnuts. The beans heated just enough to keep their crispness. They were delicious and colorful. I had many raves for this recipe. Thanks. I will continue to make this one. Loved the walnuts.

Very good but I used canned beans and spiked mine up a bit with pesto to taste

Good side dish, I used pecans instead and it turned out just fine. Lacking a little something, but still yummy.

I sauteed the garlic with the walnuts, but otherwise didn't change anything. Very easy to throw together if you've already got chopped walnuts around.

I used a bag of frozen haricort verts from Trader Joe's. Microwaved and then put into a saute pan with olive oil and butter for a few minutes. Added a little lemon juice. Delicious and easy.
