Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Step 2
Add the green beans to the boiling water and blanch them for 3-4 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 3
Drain the green beans immediately and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and preserve their color.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, orange juice, lemon juice, orange zest, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Drain the green beans from the ice water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 6
In a large serving bowl, toss the green beans with the citrus-mustard dressing until they are evenly coated.
Step 7
Garnish with toasted almond slices, if desired, for added crunch and flavor.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
