Bear with me on these, this is one of those recipes that I just throw together and don't really know the exact amount of ingredients I use. So I took a gander here, the best I can tell you is keep tasting and add more of this or that until you get the taste you like. Once you do I promise these will be a BIG hit, they are DELICIOUS! I have made them both cold and warm--I prefer them cold. Enjoy.

    I wasn't sure how I'd feel about cold green beans but these were delicious! I definitely put in more vinegar and decreased the olive oil a bit, but that's just my personal tastes. Really good recipe - thank you!

    Five Stars for certain! These greenbeans were wonderful. They were very easy to prepare, and the beans were that lovely bright green color. I added fresh garlic, but the basalmic was the true flavor enhancer. A nice combination of ingredients. Thanks for posting a wonderful recipe, Dana. It will be used here in my house again.

    These were very tasty. Followed directions exactly. Picky DH went for seconds. I want to try them with fresh garlic next time, but even with the powdered, there was a nice garlicky taste. Will certainly make this again.
