Move over plain green beans for a side serving of Olive-Almond Green Beans. The kalamata olives give these beans its saltiness, toasted almonds a bit of crunch, and a touch of citrus thanks to lemon rind.

Easy too. I used lime zest instead of lemon because that was what I had on hand. Really liked the combo of flavors in this dish. Will make often.

Delicious and easy to cook. I steamed the green beans which took a little longer than what the recipe said. The olives added a nice saltiness and the green beans and almonds add a yummy crunch. Definitely will make again!
