Here's another dish that could be a healthy addition to your Thanksgiving table. I saw this last week and knew I was going to be making it soon. Not for my Thanksgiving (I'm not cooking!), but for a tasty lunch before I leave. It's kind of a fresher take on that insane green bean casserole with the fried onions and mushroom gunk. I loved everything about this dish. The green beans were crisp and fresh reminding me of how I used to snack on green beans from my mom's garden back in high school. It took me a little longer than the recommended 7-10 to get my leeks to the crispy point. I almost gave up, but I am glad I let them get there. The only change I would make in this is to use less dill. I found 1/3 of a cup to be a bit much. I will probably do 1/4 cup next time. You can find the original recipe here. Are you making anything special for your Thanksgiving?

Esi, I like this version the the grean bean Thanksgiving dish. Who says you can't take the old and make it new again? Sweetie, may you have a glorious Thanksgiving weekend with your loved ones.
hehe, are you green yet? just kidding, this looks good enough to eat!
have a fabulous holiday!!
This looks so beautiful! I love 101 cookbooks! Such a great blog! Thanks for sharing ;)
Haha I totally saw that recipe on 101 Cookbooks the other day! :) Yours looks so yummy! And much healthier than that mushroom casserole fried onion monstrosity!
I'm going to be making the waldorf salad recipe for my family, along with a dessert-esque sweet potato praline casserole that is so evil and so delicious! Mmmm Thanksgiving...
Hope you have a lovely one! :)
yum, this sounds great! i love green beans. they're also nick's favorite veggie, and i think he'd particularly like these. happy thanksgiving :)
That sounds like a great side dish! I'm not cooking Thanksgiving either this year, but I'll have to look forward to trying this soon alongside something like roast chicken. :-)
I've actually never eaten the green beans with onion rings. I don't know why, mom just never fixed it. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I really dislike those green bean casseroles, they are not a traditon in my family! And I'm thankful for that. I would of never thought to pair dill with string beans! I'm intrigued about how that would taste. I made a cheesecake today for tomorrow, my Mom will do most of the cooking, I'll just help her out with the cutting and chopping. But I am trying turnips for the first time. Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and eat too much!!
I'm loving all the greenery! And I'd take this over green bean casserole.
Ohhh yes..this does look much better than the gunky normal green beans
