Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Yields: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces green beans, regular or French style, trimmed (360g)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon champagne, sherry, or white wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • A few turns freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup sliced or slivered toasted almonds (30g)

Instructions

  • Fill a pot with a few inches of water and fit it with a steamer insert. Bring the water to a boil.
  • Add 12 oz trimmed green beans and steam for 5-6 minutes, or until the beans are entirely tender, but not mushy. Remove the beans from the steamer insert and place them onto a serving dish (or in a storage container, if you're meal prepping). 
  • Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour this over the green beans and mix them in order to distribute the dressing. Top the green beans with the sliced almonds. Serve or store for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
