Delicious dish! I love fresh green beans and of course, all of the other lucious components of this recipe. There was no reference to how much vinegar or what kind so I guessed at it and used balsamic. I will definitely keep this recipe on my short list for future dinner parties and holiday celebrations. Made for PAC, 2011.
