These Green Beans with Sweet Dijon Sauce and Crispy Shallots are a super easy paleo side dish that everyone will love!

Easter is already on Sunday!! And of course you need an easy side dish right? The thing I love most about green bean dishes is that you can blanch the green beans the day before which makes the day of super simple.  I am so excited to watch ruthie be thoroughly confused at the concept of searching for eggs and envision her crawling to one and chewing on it and being SO happy about that!

This recipe will make you think, why on earth don’t I put crispy shallots of everything?!  They are so dang good.  We plan on enjoying this dish along with mashed potatoes, ham and a fruit salad too!  I just love big family holidays because… mashed potatoes!! I don’t make them often and holidays are always the best excuse to go crazy on some taters.  And of course you can because you balance them out with these green beans!  Oh and don’t forget to start the meal with an Easter themed charcuterie board… details on how to make one coming Thursday! 🙂
