Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I thought this was fantastic and would make the vinegarette by itself. My husband didn’t like the green beans cold and heated his plate and still thought it was great. Very easy!

    not a big fan of cold sides normally but this worked really well - the lemony flavor increased over time which i loved! Pictured with lentil and pork ragu from this book

    One of my favorite side dishes for holidays like Thanksgiving and Easter

    Yum! I didn’t add the full amount of salt to the blanching water and it turned out fine for us. Basil or a fresh herb would be a nice add but even as written it’s very tasty. Would be an awesome summer salad

    Scrumptious! Halved the recipe but kept all the garlic, which worked well. A really satisfying veg dish that could practically be a full dinner with some bread and maybe a light soup.

    This was a great cold side dish. My only complaint is saying the beans need 4 quarts of water and a cup and a half of salt to cook. I am going to halve that next time. And yet it still needed a pinch of salt to finish it! But a great tasting recipe. Perfect for a summer bbq.

    My first success from this book! A great and simple side dish. I didn’t think it would need salt with all the Parmesan but it benefited from a sprinkle.

    This is delicious and not shy on the salt and garlic (a good thing for me). It really is better after a nap in the fridge to get the beans crispy and let the flavors meld.
