Loved them! Made them exactly as written with the exception of letting the dressing simmer for moment before adding in the green beans (as others suggested). Such a quick & easy way to jazz up green beans and they went perfectly with the Bruschetta Chicken I made from this site. Thank you for sharing!!

I want to start off by saying that green beans are not my favorite. I have been looking for a recipe that just really makes me say WOW that's a GOOD green bean. This recipe didn't do that for me. However, with that being said, if you LIKE green beans, I think this is a great idea : )

These green beans were edible but not great. It was fast and easy but tasted like pickled green beans. It sounded good but I won't be making these again.

Made just as recipe says using Newman's Own Balsamic Vinaigrette. Midway through, I threw in 2 cups cooked chicken, but the bean would've been lovely on their own. Excellent!

Finger licking good! I normally sautee my green beans in garlic and olive oil (another great recipe!) but I didn't have any fresh garlic for it so I decided to look up a different way to sautee them (since its the only way I can eat them). So I tried this recipe! I didn't have any zesty Italian but I used Ceaser Vinaigrette instead along with a little garlic salt! It was DELICIOUS! I'll try them with zesty Italian next time. Also, a tip, blanching the green beans before you sautee them makes them come out JUST right. You can look up how to do that online, its pretty basic! Five Stars!

O so good. I added some sliced onions and about a 1/4 teasp. minced garlic. I would have added mushrooms if I had them. Another keeper. Thanks John.

This was excellent! I will not use butter next time and the cooking time was off. I would say about 10 minutes instead of 25. I was looking for a green bean recipe that I already had the ingredients on hand and this was perfect. I will make this again.

Absolutely delicious. I followed someone else's suggestions and heated the dressing on the stove before I added the green beans. I also added forthed cherry tomatoes. Both the beans and the tomatoes came from our garden, so that made them extra yummy!

Usually these rating are dead on but maybe it was the Italian dressing I used but it was way too sweet and greasy. I only ate a bite. Caution...test on a few beans first. I used a Robust Italian Dressing. On my fingers tasted okay but not on beans.

It was okay. A little too sweet for my family's taste. We ate it, but the leftovers were trashed.

Another wonderful way to use Italian dressing. I don't quite understand the reviewer that said that all it tasted like was green beans and Italian dressing, seeing how that's what the recipe is. I thought they were great. The recipe used stuff I always have around, and was simple to make. I reduced the amount of butter, and will probably leave it out next time. I used fresh beans and cooked for ~15 minutes 'cause I like them tender-crisp. Next time I'll put them in a serving dish after cooking since the last ones are VERY drippy with sauce. I probably got my whole day's worth of veggies from this recipe. Thanks!

My husband and I really loved this recipe and he's not a veggie eater. I decreased the butter by half. I leave them on the stove for our second helpings, so the beans overcook and start to crisp. It really brings out the flavors of the dressing. yum.

I really liked these green beans. I was in a pinch for a side dish and happened upon this recipe. It was a little bit greasy, but the taste was excellent. I will make again.

I was looking for a way to jazz up a can of green beans and this worked great! I eyeballed 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of italian dressing, then added a small can of beans. There was a lot of sauce left, but it still gave the beans a nice flavor- I will try it with fresh next time, but we loved it with canned!

This is great base recipe. I used drained canned green beans, added a little minced garlic, seasoning salt, and sprinkled with parm cheese...and it turned out great.

For the first time since I started using allrecipes, I am completely unimpressed by a recipe I chose... Partially because I didn't have a lot of time to find a recipe, so I didn't do the proper research. This recipe called for far too much butter, and I used a quality Italian dressing but still the flavor was horrible. The beans were practically burnt after 15 minutes. This recipe needed more liquid and less butter. I will not make it again. The only reason I give it two stars is that my husband actually did like it.

These beans are shocking because they look like regular green beans but then they taste almost sour because you're not expecting it. To be fair, it may have been bad because I used Light Italian dressing...but I will not make this again.
