Ingredients

• 4 teaspoons half-and-half cream
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon crumbled blue cheese
• 1 1/2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

Place the first eight ingredients in a blender; cover and process until combined. Gradually add oil in a steady stream, processing until smooth; set aside. Place the beans in a large saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and place in a serving bowl. Drizzle with the blue cheese mixture and sprinkle with bacon.
