I'm looking forward to trying this healthier version of one of my favorite dishes. My old recipe for greek beans used 2/3 cup of oil! However I will probably continue to use fresh parsley instead of the dried dill when I have it. - 2/25/10

I didn't have onion, but I made this using fresh dill (also added a bit of lemon juice) and it was SO delicious! Served as a side to Chef Meg's Greek Turkey burger. Made for a very yummy meal! Definite repeat! - 7/1/11

This really great!! and sooo Simple! I used fresh dill because I love it and 1 really large shallot because I was out of regular onions. I served it with a toasted whole wheat pita that I warmed in a pan with pam...YUM!

I loved this recipe. It's so simple and tasty.

I've even added different things here and there to change it up a bit. I really liked it when I added a can of corn. - 9/3/09

This was delicious. The only thing I would change is to drain the can tomatoes a little. - 7/16/09
