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!!

For those who had too much "onion" taste... chop the white parts off and just use the green tops of the onions which are more mild in taste.

Whoever created this recipe must really love onions. I only used 2 instead of 6 for 24oz of fresh green beans, and we couldn't taste the green beans. If I were to make this again I would probably cut the onions down to 1 and double the garlic.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. It's a great combination of herbs, and I took the advice of other reviewers and let it marinate for a few hours. The flavor was perfect. I also used slightly less than the requested olive oil, and found that a little bit actually goes a long way! My beans are a little shiny in the flashed photo. Next time I will use still less olive oil and I'm sure they'll be better.

This is a nice change from plain, steamed beans, nothing fantastic though.

This was awesome! I added too much sugar by accident (a clump ell in) so mine was a little sweeter than I like, but if you use the right amount is should be perfect. This is good hot or gold.

I made this as a side dish for Thanksgiving once, and it worked out okay. I think it is a good concept overall, but the flavour is not quite right. Maybe I will try it again with less olive oil.

The sauce was very flavourful but way too much oil it made the dish greasy and too high in calories. I will make again but 1/2 the oil. I let the sauce marinate for 4 hours.

I made these beans for a dinner party and they were GREAT! I made the dressing earlier in the afternoon and when first made, I didn't think I was going to like it. Tasted bland. However, after a few hours of the flavors combining, it was very, very good. The only thing I might do different next time is to halve the recipe. I didn't need as much as it made.

I'm sorry to say that this recipe was just plain awful! All it tasted like was olive oil and salt- I threw the dressing out before putting it on my green beans, and just kept to my old recipe- butter and dill.
