Cooking the beans in salted water helps them retain a bright green color. Serve beans chilled or at room temperature. Ingredients:
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed |
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, divided |
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives |
3 tablespoons crème fraîche |
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard |
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted |
Directions:
1. Cook beans 5 minutes or until crisp-tender in boiling water with 1 3/8 teaspoons salt. Drain and plunge beans into ice water. Drain and pat dry.
2. Combine remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, chives, and next 4 ingredients (through pepper) in a large bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Add beans to mustard mixture; toss. Divide beans evenly among 4 plates; top each serving with 1 1/2 teaspoons almonds.
