Categories     Salad     Ginger     Herb     Nut     Picnic     Low Fat     Quick & Easy     High Fiber     Almond     Green Bean     Summer     Chill     Healthy     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup whole almonds (about 1-1/2ounces)
4 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 pound green beans, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large garlic clove, pressed
1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Place almonds in small nonstick skillet. Stir over medium heat until almonds are lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Increase heat medium-high. Add 3 teaspoons soy sauce and stir until soy sauce evaporates and coats almonds, about 1 minute. Transfer to plate and cool. Chop almonds. Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. Rinse beans under cold water. Drain well. (Almonds and beans can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover almonds and store at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate beans; bring to room temperature before continuing.)
  • Whisk vinegar, oil, garlic, ginger and remaining 1 teaspoon soy sauce in large bowl to blend. Add beans and toss to coat. Sprinkle green onions, cilantro and almonds over salad and serve.

Tips:

  • For the freshest flavor, use young, tender green beans. If you can find them, look for haricots verts, which are a type of French green bean that is particularly delicate and flavorful.
  • Blanching the green beans before adding them to the salad helps to preserve their bright green color and crisp texture.
  • To make the vinaigrette, use a good quality olive oil and vinegar. You can also add a touch of Dijon mustard or honey for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have any slivered almonds on hand, you can use chopped walnuts or pecans instead.
  • This salad is best served immediately, but it will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Green bean salad with almonds is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your salad simple or dressed up with additional ingredients, this recipe is sure to please.
