- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt

Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the green beans. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the beans are tender but still slightly crisp.
Step 3
Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
Step 4
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Finely chop the fresh cilantro.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. Pour the honey lime dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle toasted almonds on top for added crunch.
Step 8
Serve immediately for a fresh and vibrant salad, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld together.
