Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water. Set aside.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
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).
While the green beans are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water.
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.
Drain the green beans and set them aside on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to dry.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together raspberry vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In a large serving bowl, toss the cooked green beans with the raspberry vinegar dressing until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the toasted sliced almonds over the top, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately or at room temperature as a flavorful side dish. Enjoy!
