Green bean and bacon salad is a delicious and hearty side dish that can be made in just a few minutes. Simply blanch fresh green beans in boiling water for a few minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Toss the green beans with crumbled bacon, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and a simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Serve chilled.
