Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 3 tablespoons raspberry vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water. Set aside.
Step 2
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Step 3
Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp (bright green and slightly firm).
Step 4
While the green beans are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water.
Step 5
Once the green beans are cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer them immediately into the ice bath. Let the beans sit in the ice water for 2 minutes to stop the cooking process and preserve their color.
Step 6
Drain the green beans and set them aside on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to dry.
Step 7
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together raspberry vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 8
In a large serving bowl, toss the cooked green beans with the raspberry vinegar dressing until evenly coated.
Step 9
Sprinkle the toasted sliced almonds over the top, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately or at room temperature as a flavorful side dish. Enjoy!
