These Green Beans Caesar are a delicious side dish and a change of pace from the usual steamed beans. Goes with anything from chicken to pork to fish.

What’s your go-to side dish for almost any meal? If you’re like 99% of the people I know, it’s green beans. They go with almost anything and when I just can’t think of something to prep along with dinner, I always know I can whip up some green beans. Yep, good old green beans. Boring old green beans. I cook them until I think, “I can’t eat another green bean!”

That’s why I’m always looking for more interesting ways to serve them. Sure, they’re delicious steamed with a bit of salt and butter added or cooked the old-fashioned southern way seasoned with a ham hock, but today I have something totally different – Green Beans Caesar.

I’ve tossed cooked green beans with a garlic vinaigrette and topped them with bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Pop the dish in the oven for a while and then serve. I could honestly make my whole dinner of just these beans and some bread. So good and so different. A great change of pace from the usual. Hope you enjoy them!

    I am not a big fan of green beans. But, this actually sounds amazing. I am going to try this very soon. Going to Farmer’s Market to buy some fresh beans.

      Thanks, Liz! These make a really nice side for Thanksgiving in place of the old classic green bean casserole.

    A resounding Yes! Two of my favorite things combined. Ceasar salad dressing and fresh green beans. I really miss growing my own green beans this year. You’d better believe I won’t miss it next year!

      I haven’t planted my own in a long, long time Ginny. I used to can them every year, but where we live now they’d just be fodder for the deer!
