Green Bean Salad Amandine

Boiling water cooks the beans quickly so they retain their vibrant color. Haricots verts are slender French green beans; if you substitute regular green beans, cook an additional 30 seconds to one minute. The almonds are toasted for the most robust flavor.
How to Make It
Step 1
Cook beans in boiling water 4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and plunge beans into ice water; drain well. Pat beans dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Combine vinegar, oil, mustard, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk until well blended. Add beans to vinegar mixture; toss well to coat. Sprinkle with almonds.

Love this dish-- been making it for years. Easy, light, and fresh, and it's really easy to adjust the flavors to your liking. I pair it with Maple-Dijon crusted chicken thighs, and it's excellent.

Just finished making this and it is fantastic! Simple and delish; I choose this recipe because it seemed easy to take to a pot luck Christmas dinner. The flavor is clean and what a veggie side dish should be- just perfect! I used 1/2 balsamic 1/2 red wine vinegar in place of sherry and I don't believe it is missing anything by using this substitution.

very delicious and easy, esp. since I wanted something i could make in advance for a party. with pork tenderloin on dollar rolls, and mac and cheese. I boiled the beans slightly longer just because I like them a little soft, but not mushy. I finally found sherry vinegar, but as a substitute for it, you could mix equal parts red wine and balsamic vinegars, or equal apple cider and balsamic.
I'd make these again.
