With holiday’s around the corner, like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Rosh Hashanah and even just the busy weeknight dinners during the school year, I am always looking for new side dishes to serve.

How to make Feta and Bacon Green Beans:

Ingredients needed:

1 pound french green beans
5-6 slices of bacon, diced
1/2 cup feta cheese
salt/pepper to taste
1/4 cup of your favorite vinaigrette dressing

Instructions:

Steam the beans until a fork can easy pierce through (about 10 minutes or so). Don’t over cook them, or they change color and look sad. (we don’t want sad looking green beans)
While the beans are steaming, cook the bacon, blot the fat off with a paper towel and allow to cool. Once cool, dice the bacon into small pieces.
Once the beans are cooked, transfer to a bowl, season with salt and pepper – taste it to your liking. Add the vinaigrett salad dressing and toss to coat.
Top with the bacon and feta cheese.
Enjoy
