These easy Haricot Vert (French String Beans) packs the perfect combination of simple flavors with an al dente texture. Shallots cooked gently bringing a sweetness to the dish and the capers adds a slight tang. Not to mention everything tastes better with dill. I serve this with grilled chicken tenders, but keep it vegetarian and add toasted nuts. However you serve this side dish, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Happy Cooking!
