How to Make Balsamic Garlic Beans
- Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Drain immediately and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- While the beans are cooking, prepare the dressing: In a screw-top jar, combine 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously to emulsify the dressing.
- In a small skillet, toast 1/4 cup slivered almonds over medium heat until lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Place the cooked green beans on a serving platter.
- Pour the balsamic garlic dressing evenly over the beans.
- Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the beans and serve immediately.
