There's only three ingredients involved:
2 cans of whole green beans
1 bottle of Italian dressing
Rope Provolone cheese
1. Open and drain your green beans.
2. Dump them into a bowl with a lid.
3. Pour the Italian dressing over the greens. Stir.
4. Seal the lid and put in the refrigerator for several hours to marinate. I usually make these the night before I want to use them.
5. Drain the beans. Put in a serving bowl. Spread the cheese around the edge of the bowl.
That's it. Could it get any easier?!? This is a great dish to take to bar-b-ques or potlucks because it doesn't have to be refrigerated or heated. When you get to your party, you can just plop it on the table and go have fun.
Sometimes, when I'm feeling very fancy, I also add in mushrooms and artichoke hearts to the green beans and marinate them all together. What I've found, though, is that at the end of the day the green beans go first and the mushrooms and artichoke hearts are left to feel lonely on the platter. So recently I've been making this dish with just the green beans. You can even skip the cheese if you want to. Enjoy!

I love green beans, what a fantastic idea! I have some fresh green beans my dad gave me from his garden, I was actually about to search for recipe ideas! Thanks for sharing on Try a Bite Tuesday Link Party! Hope to see you again next week!
ReplyDeleteI love green beans, I usually marinate them in olive oil and fresh thinly sliced garlic but this recipe looks yummy and would be a nice change ( especially if I don't fancy the garlic breath afterwards).
ReplyDeleteI saw some green beans the other day with Parmesan cheese on them and tried it delicious I am not a big fan of them unless something is on it so I will be trying this.
ReplyDeleteGreen beans are one of my favorite veggies, but I usually use them as another veggie ingredient to a main dish. I love the recipe you shared because I know I have tasted something similar in a restaurant but always wondered how to make them. You make is so simple enough!
ReplyDeleteMy boys absolutely love green beans and I am always trying to think of other ways to prepare them other than sauteeing. This recipe looks like something that would be right up their alley...or even great for a BBQ. Thanks for sharing.

My kids are huge green bean fanatics!! I never would have thought to add cheese to the green beans like this! I bet they would love it, I need to find rope cheese it looks like it would be fun to make and eat.
ReplyDeleteI love it! This looks like it would be so easy to make! I really need easy to make recipes since i work full time. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would have NEVER thought of marinating green beans! What a clever idea. I agree it is perfect for summer. I love to eat green beans cold right out of the can so I can only imagine how much I would love this dish. Not sure I would add the cheese though. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try this - and I find Schnucks green beans to be the best. Cheers to another Missouri Blogger!

The recipe looks absolutely delicious and I can not wait to try it out especially since no one wants to be cooking throughout summer instead of enjoying it. I would definitely pass the mushrooms as I am not a fan of them.
ReplyDeleteIt looked so easy to prepare and make this dish. I would love to try it and surprise my family. Mushrooms and artichoke hearts will elevate the taste of this food for sure. So good and so healthy! The presentation must be grand if there are cheese strips on top.
ReplyDeleteI love simple but impressive sides like this! Thank you so much for linking up at Tasty Tuesday! Your recipe has been pinned to the Tasty Tuesday Pinterest board! Please join us again this week!
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely delicious and is probably a delicious summer treat. I get particularly lazy with cooking in the summer and am pretty sensitive about eating hot foods so I often ignore vegetables during July and August, except for the in the form of salad. Will try this out, I think my mom will be a big fan as well.
ReplyDeleteYum! I am a green beans fan. When my Mom was pregnant she said she craved green beans daily. this recipe would probably be a huge hit in my household. and easy to make is a huge plus.
ReplyDeleteYUMMM! so easy too!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE green beans and it is always so fun to learn new ways to prepare them! I can't wait to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing! :)
