  1. I steamed the green beans. I didn't have fresh dill so I used 1 tsp of dried dill. I loved it that way. It's so yummy and easy to do. Thanks Jan :) Made for the Zwizzle Chicks of ZWT
     
  2. We enjoyed the fresh flavors found here. The vinaigrette was such a nice surprise on the slightly crisp green beans. Served with recipe #325703. I will make this again! Thank you for sharing your recipe! :-)
     
  3. Green beans are my favorite veggie. I'm typically lazy and boil them with butter. This was a great way to serve them and healthy to boot! The lemon/mustard/dill combination really worked. I would not have thought to use dill on my beans before. I found the vinaigrette light and refreshing. I used a little over a pound of beans and kept the vinaigrette proportions the same. I would have these again. I served with Recipe #322424 322424. Thanks! Made for ZWT6.
     
  4. Great green beans, love the combination of dill, mustard and lemon. Nice easy way to make green beans. Made for ZWT6.
     
  5. Terrific! Loved the dill, mustard, lemon juice combination. Easy to make too. No changes, except maybe a tad less olive oil. Do use fresh dill.
