Enhance the Flavor:
- Use fresh dill and oregano instead of dried for a more intense herb flavor.
- Add a teaspoon of minced garlic or a few cloves of roasted garlic for added depth.
- Replace the lemon juice with half lime juice and half lemon juice for a more complex citrus flavor.
Upgrade the Texture:
- Roast the green beans for a slightly crispy exterior and a tender-crisp interior.
- Add some chopped red onion or shallots for a bit of crunch and sharpness.
- Toss in some sliced almonds or walnuts for a nutty texture and extra protein.
Incorporate More Vegetables:
- Add some chopped bell peppers, zucchini, or tomatoes for added color and nutrition.
- Mix in some roasted red potatoes or chickpeas for a more substantial dish.
Add a Touch of Heat:
- Sprinkle some red pepper flakes or add a chopped jalapeño pepper for a bit of spice.
- Use a combination of olive oil and chili oil for dressing for a subtle heat.
Enhance the Aesthetics:
- Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of green color.
- Garnish with lemon wedges or feta cheese for a classic Greek touch.
Dietary Considerations:
- For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or omit them altogether.
Additional Tips:
- Make sure the green beans are trimmed and cut evenly for even cooking.
- Don’t overcook the green beans, as they should still have a slight crunch.
- Serve the green beans warm with grilled meats, fish, or vegetarian dishes.
