How to Make Almond Green Bean Salad

  1. Bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a large skillet.
  2. Add 1 pound of trimmed green beans and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
  3. Immediately drain the green beans and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and maintain their vibrant green color.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooled green beans with 1 cup of chopped cherry or grape tomatoes, 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Gently toss to combine all ingredients.
  6. Line serving plates with fresh lettuce leaves.
  7. Spoon the green bean mixture onto the lettuce-lined plates.
  8. Top with 1/4 cup of slivered almonds.
