Fried Green Beans
Description
The appetizer is quick and easy to prepare. Fried green beans make an excellent hot appetizer. But I also like them served cold with mayonnaise. Fried green beans work as a side with meat, fish, and poultry. They’re good for breakfast too—for example, with scrambled eggs. In short, this dish is versatile. And it’s made with a super simple recipe. Serve the appetizer at the table.
