    • Reviews

  • “What a nice, light, side veggie. I used frozen beans and cut the recipe in half, and it still turned out great.”

  • “These went very nicely with Erin’s meatloaf for supper. thanks Miller for a good one! I used white wine vinegar and canned, rinsed and well drained, whole green beans, no fresh around right now.”

  • “I served this at my vegan dinner party, and it was a big hit.I used the white wine vinegar, and I may have used too much since it seemed very vinegary to me.But my guests commented that it went perfectly alongside “Taste of Morocco”, another recipe I found here.”

  • “Nice change from plain old green beans. Pickled dill beans are a fave of mine. This is different from those in a great way. Less vinegar taste and you can cook the beans as al dente as you like them, in my case very. This was a great dish both room temp and cold. Thanks for sharing it! PS I love spicy things and I think I will add some red pepper flakes next time!”

  • “I used nice skinny haricots, and fresh dill from the garden–skipped the almonds.I think drssing the beans while they are hot and then letting them macerate till room temp is what maks this work.”
