French fries from fast food restaurants can be replaced with roasted green beans, which are also healthier. It just takes 15 minutes in the oven to prepare this simple 4-ingredient side dish of crisp, soft, caramelized green beans, and you can serve it for elegant evenings or weeknight suppers. These are a favorite snack and hors d’oeuvre among my family and friends. There is never enough, no matter how many I produce!

very quick and easy was a big hit and since no mayonnaise is used didnt have to worry about it being in the heat
This slaw was a hit when I took it to a recent cookout. The only change I made was to use apple cider instead of white distilled vinegar. I will make it again!
Really good, used 1/2 the oil and used coconut and olive oil together. Cut the sugar too.

My family doesn’t like cranberries so substituted one apple and used apple cider vinegar instead of vinegar called for. I also used green onions instead of sweet onions. My family loved it! But, the second day it didn’t taste very good. I’ll only make 1/2 the recipe next time so I don’t have to throw out so much. That’s the only reason I’m not giving it five stars.
Excellent and is actually better the second day.
Beautiful colours, great salad!
We loved it. My husband is not a slaw lover but he thought it was wonderful. it has just the right amount of tartness–not too sweet. not too sour. The cranberries added color and flavor and the walnuts were a crunchy surprise. I didn’t have celery so I omitted it. we didn’t miss it. I also used a red onion which added color. I only used about half the dressing so I put the left over in the fridge for another day. I will definitely put this recipe I in my favorite file.
I use Olive Oil and cut the sugar in half. I add pineapple chunks and use pineapple flavor infused basalmic vinegar. I don’t put in celery.
I made this recipe just as stated but did not add the walnuts (just did’t want the extra calories). We loved the taste which only got better after a few days.
Made this side dish for Christmas Eve dinner, the entire family loved it!! Will make again.
I would make it again as it was very easy to make and tasted better the next day.
Good flavor, but unfortunately I did not read the other reviews that warned against assembling ahead of time. I made a few hours ahead of dinner, thinking I was giving the flavors time to meld, but this resulted in the cabbage being completely wilted and floating in dressing. Next time, I would make half the amount of dressing and toss when ready to serve. (I made this with pecans instead of walnuts because that is what I had on hand).
I have made this a few times and it’s always a hit.
Pretty good and a little different. I cut the amount of dressing in half and think I would reduce the oil a bot more next time. It keeps really well and was still crunchy after several days. Nice no mayo slaw.
I made this over the Christmas Holidays and all the family loved it. I did halve the dressing and used only 1 T. of sugar in dressing as I don’t care for a sweet taste on salads. It’s such a pretty salad for Christmas. I told my grandchildren it was Christmas Confetti Salad to get them to taste it and they loved it. The only other change is I toasted the nuts and used pecans as I didn’t have walnuts. Walnuts would surely be just as good. Thanks Twiggs.
There is a difference between a stalk and a rib of celery. The whole thing ia a stalk and you don’t want one stalk in this slaw. It’s one RIB….
Would like to try this using whole cranberries instead of dried.
Excellent!!
WARNING: After reading other reviews, I halved the oil and vinegar and it was still drowing in dressing. I added another full bag of slaw and it was just about right. I doubled the cranberries, doubled the nuts (used roasted almonds right from the bag for extra crunch) and nearly tripled the dry mustard. The ingredients together are delicious and make a light, fresh slaw. This recipe is just way off on the proportions.
This is a great side dish for any day, but especially nice for Thanksgiving.
