Steps:
- Boil the green beans: Cook the green beans in a large pot of boiling salted water (1 1/2 teaspoons of salt for every quart of water) until just crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
- Shock the green beans in ice water: Drain the beans and transfer them to a large bowl of ice water, cooling them completely. (The ice water will shock the beans into a vibrant green color.) Drain the beans well. At this point you can make the beans a day ahead and store in refrigerator. Alternatively you can steam the beans for 5 minutes and proceed directly to the skillet.
- Sauté beans with butter and thyme: Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium high heat. Whisk in half of the fresh thyme (1 Tbsp), the Dijon mustard and garlic salt into the butter. Add the beans to the skillet and toss until heated through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.
- Sprinkle with toasted almonds: and the remaining 1 Tbsp of thyme.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans. Look for beans that are bright green in color and have no blemishes. Avoid beans that are limp or have yellow or brown spots.
- Trim the green beans. Remove the ends of the beans, where the stems were attached. You can also trim the beans into smaller pieces, if desired.
- Blanch the green beans. This will help to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Toast the almonds. This will help to bring out their flavor. To toast the almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Stir the almonds occasionally to ensure that they toast evenly.
- Make the vinaigrette. Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
- Combine the ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the green beans, almonds, vinaigrette, and thyme. Toss to coat.
Conclusion:
This thyme green beans with almonds recipe is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. The green beans are blanched to preserve their color and crispness, and the almonds are toasted to bring out their flavor. The vinaigrette is made with olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper, and it adds a tangy and flavorful dressing to the beans. The thyme adds a subtle herbaceous flavor to the dish.
