Published 11/1/2024 Simple to make and ready in just 15 minutes, this sautéed green beans recipe is a great example that the simplest things can often be the best. Welcome to the first of many recipes this holiday season that are so near and dear to our hearts ♥️ We’re so excited to be sharing family recipes that each of us grew up enjoying during the holiday season. And first up is my (Rosie, FFF kitchen manager and recipe developer here!) dear grandma Ginny’s green bean sauté. I have the fondest memories of my grandma making this dish for us during the holiday season. Like many kids, vegetables were not my favorite, but with the Italian dressing and Dijon mustard, I ate these green beans like they were candy! Making them is SO simple. You just sauté green beans in Italian dressing over the stove, add the Dijon mustard, and top them with silvered almonds. That’s it!

What kind of Italian dressing do you recommend?
Grandma Ginny made this recipe with Kraft Italian dressing (like the true midwesterner she is 😋), but to make this dish with a cleaner ingredient list, we used Brianna brand Italian dressing. Feel free to use your favorite brand or make a batch of our ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Homemade Italian Dressing! Family Recipe Series
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply sauté the beans over medium heat until warmed through.
What to Serve with Ginny’s Green Bean Sauté
Since this is a holiday favorite in our family, we recommend serving it with some of our other favorite festive dishes, such as this Seared Beef Tenderloin Roast, Leftover Turkey Pot Pie, or these Whipped Cottage Cheese Mashed Potatoes. I’m also a really big fan of it with these Sweet Potatoes Au Gratin and Baked Pork Roast!
