A little too much onion and perhaps a little too heavy on the herbs...this just didn't turn out for me. I love green beans and this was actually better cold than warm and perhaps it was because it marinated for a bit. Not something I'd make again.

Using the whole 1/3 cup of olive oil was unnecessary. I only used a couple of tablespoons. I only used a pinch of salt as we're watching our salt intake. I think this would have been better if I'd roasted the green beans and I'd omitted the sugar. It was good, but not great. I was hugely disappointed. If I make this again, I'll double the spices.

Pretty good...definately easy. I think letting the marinade sit for a while helps.

So, I kinda estimated the amounts. And I used dijon mustard instead of dry. And I halved the oil and about doubled the lemon juice. But it smells and tastes great!

Very tangy sauce--exactly what I wanted! I bought one of the 'steamer bags w/whole green beans' from the freezer section of the grocery store. I steamed the green beans in the morning and then poured the dressing over them and let the sit in the fridge for about 6-7 hours. I LOVE IT! Tangy and crisp...I've had similar tasting green beans @ a nice restaurant...but I do believe these were better! Ooooh and I didn't use as much olive oil as called for.

this recipe is good, but not great considering all the spices which was somewhat of a disappointment. i really thought this recipe had the potential to take center stage in the green bean department, but i have other more flavorful recipes i'll stick to using far fewer ingredients that come together beautifully for that WOW factor.

I had higher expectations for this considering all the seasonings going on here. It was not nearly as full-flavored as I thought it would be. All I can say is that it was better than just plain cooked beans with nothing on them.

This is delicious!!! I did not have marjoram so I used fresh thyme in it's place. I will make this again no doubt!!! Even my 16 month old loved it. Thanks for a great recipe!!
