Easy and delicious, these Green Beans with Red Wine Vinaigrette are a great side with any healthy meal. The red wine vinegar, mustard and garlic really punch up the flavor.
These beautiful purple beans are from my garden. They are so fun, and my girls love them because they’re purple. The flowers are also purple when they’re blooming, so they’re are a perfect addition to our garden. The beans turn green when you cook them, a fun “magic trick” for the kids.
I like to mix up small servings of dressing in lidded containers. Add ingredients, shake, and done. This time I used a small canning jar but anything with a lid will work. I’ll do this when I’m making myself a salad for lunch too. An easy way to try out new dressing combinations.
Here’s a great video explaining the basics of a homemade vinaigrette.
Green beans are a favorite vegetable in our house. The one vegetable that all three kids enjoy, so it’s a go-to on busy nights. I didn’t have quite enough beans from the garden to feed the whole family, so I added some frozen green beans too.
