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 excellent green beans, which I seved with our Christmas dinner. I added slivered almonds and it was outstanding. I also did not measure the ingredients, just winged it. Instead of olive oil, I used about 2 tablespoons of butter. Thanks for posting! Everyone at Xmas loved them!

These were wonderful!! Had a pile of green beans that I bought on sale, and had no idea what to do with them...until I found this recipe!! I must admit, I did go with the fresh garlic, but other than that I didn't change a thing. Wonderful!! Thank you!!! ~Manda

These were fantastic. I used fresh garlic, 4 bulbs of crushed garlic. I also warmed the olive oil and let the crushed garlic infuse in the oil. (the only 2 minor changes to the recipes). Everyone loved these beans and fought over the few beans that were left. What a wonderful combination of ingredients, Dana. Thank you. hugs.

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.

Oh Dana, this is a wonderful make-ahead dish. Actually, I prepared them in the morning and all I had to do is pop them on the table. I have some left overs that I plan to add to a salad for tomorrow's dinner. The only thing I did different was to used some fresh chopped garlic. I served these green beans along with your Easy Baked Potato Wedges and your Chicken with Muenster Cheese...a perfect meal. Dana, I continue to pray for you and your family.

I love green beans and I love this recipe. I mixed the oil and vinegar with fresh minced garlic an hour before serving and let it sit at room temp. Then I cooked the beans until just tender and then rinsed them with cold water. After draining them, I added the oil-vinegar-garlic and some salt and fresh ground pepper and served the beans with your beef tips. Thanks for a wonderful dinner!

I've made this a lot in the past, and love them! I've tried it with both garlic powder and with minced garlic (3-4 cloves, minced), and both ways are excellent. Yum! If you're feeling daring, you can add a tiny dollop of sour cream to your portion, too.

Nice green beans, Dana! I love them cold!! The oil, vinegar and garlic are just right and don't overpower the string beans. Nice and easy, too. Thanks!
