Citrus Green Beans with Toasted Almonds
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb Green Beans stems removed
- 1/4 cup Sliced Almonds
- 1/4 cup Avocado Oil
- 1 Tbsp Fresh Orange Juice
- 1 tsp Orange Zest
- 1/2 tsp Minced Shallots
- 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/8 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans to the pot and cook for about 6 minutes until the beans are crisp tender.
- Once the green beans are cooked, submerge them into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain the green beans into a colander and set aside.
- Toast the almonds in a pan over medium low heat for about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on the almonds and move them around to keep them from burning.
- To make the dressing, add the avocado oil, orange juice, zest, shallots, salt and pepper to a small bowl and whisk together.
- In a large bowl, toss together the green beans, dressing and half the almonds. Top with the remaining almonds before serving.
