As is, I didn't care for the recipe, but I saved the lemon juice/oil mix by adding More lemon juice (I didn't measure), then adding some onion power, adobo, minced garlic,pepper, AND the special addition of organic unrefined brown sugar! That made the mix taste great.

I cooked my string beans in some salted boiling water for a few minutes (3-4 minutes), I used frozen string beans. We like our veggies crunchy so I undercook a little bit and then quickly rinse with cold water. I sauteed the garlic in the olive oil. I threw the green beans in a bowl poured garlic and oil over the whole thing and squeezed 1/2 of a fresh lemon and tossed again. Added a tiny bit of salt and it was great. I think 1/4 cup of oil is too much. 2 tablespoons is more than enough. Follow your common sense when cooking and you'll never go wrong. Thanks for sharing.

I boiled the beans for 10 minutes, removed into a bowl and then covered them in one large lemons juice and garlic salt. I thought they were a great side dish and I didn't even bother with the oil.

Tasty. I use shallots instead of garlic due to allergy. Simple to make. They can be served cold and are quite good that way.

Very good! I increased the garlic to 2 cloves and used some McComick Montreal Steak Seasoning to the dressing. Very Quick and Easy!

These remind me of the green beans from Bucco di Beppo, one of my favorite Italian restaurants. I loved them, my son who wont eat green beans ate the. Husband said they were ok. I personally could eat them like this everyday.

I think you need to be Italian to really enjoy this dish. My boyfriend's whole family makes a variation of these green beans and they love them. My friend's overweight 13 year old daughter won't eat any vegetables, she told her mom the only ones she can eat are green beans. So I made her a batch and she ate the whole thing! I used 4 garlic cloves and sunflower oil instead of oil (my preference). I also substitute a little white vinegar in place of some of the lemon juice.
