I do this the years we host and the homemade fried shallots are great. I make extras to snack on.

I like it because I like those salty french fried onion things.

There isn't a recipe. My mom makes it and it changes slightly each year.

Trim and cook fresh green beans. Blanch them so they don't continue to cook. You don't want them mushy.

Once cooled and drained, add-
red onions
grape tomatoes, sliced in quarters
black olives - sliced
feta cheese
roasted red peppers - jarred is fine

Mix with a bit of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, maybe a dash of garlic powder if you'd like.

Put it in the fridge overnight. Then give it a good toss before serving.


She may sprinkle some parmesan cheese in there too. I'm not positive. I just know it's a huge hit and refreshing when you have lots of heavy/warm food on the plate.

If you don't like olives, or peppers, or onions, that's fine. Leave them out. We use grape tomatoes instead of cherry or regular, because they are bit sweeter.

People. Don't eat onions raw. We smell it coming out every pore not to mention your breath.

Onions with balsamic are not raw, they pickle/brine.

This is a lovely gift for both sides of the argument. If sales explode, I expect a cut, bad grandma!

Immigrant family - I was so jealous of everyone else’s classic thanksgiving dinners as a kid. The white gravy boat! The mysterious green bean casserole! The absolute anarchy of having marshmallows…for dinner! The wobbly cranberry sauce with ridges!

Same. New Englander here and it was never part of the offering. Plain vegetables, and not green beans. We are a peas, carrots, squash and hubbard squash family. Hubbard squash is pretty disgusting. Maybe if they had added soup and cheese and fried bits to it, it would have been palatable.

I like you.

I hate it when people throw the "Americans like" "Americans do" on here. If you replace it with "Black People love watermelon" it's pretty nauseating. Can we stop with this?

This sounds lovely but it’s a summer dish. This has no place on the thanksgiving menu!

Fruitcake makes a regular appearance at our home during the holidays. If you like it at all, please do yourself a favor and get one from Southern Supreme in NC.

I really don’t think it’s the same thing…
