This is one of my very favorite recipes. It is so delicious I could eat a bowlful. I like it at room temp the best. I like the green beans cooked a little longer than called for. I have thyme growing in my garden; it's incredibly easy to grow and comes back each year. Definitely makes the dish nicer. I often make a half recipe as there are only two of us here.

Just served it for Thanksgiving. Wonderful If you don't have fresh thyme, just use 1/8 tsp dried thyme in the vinaigrette.

Fantastic! I have made this many times. Don't always include the almonds, and its still wonderful.
