GREEN BEANS WITH BLUE CHEESE AND TOASTED ALMONDS
This is a wonderful veggie side dish to serve to guests, it is more like a bean salad, as it is not meant to be served hot, but at room temperature. The amounts I have listed are only estimated as I really do not measure any thing when I make this dish, you can adjust all ingredients to taste. You can really use just about any kind of nuts for this recipe, I have even made this with toasted walnuts. The amounts in this recipe serve 4 but you can double or even triple the recipe to serve at a dinner party. This green bean dish is good enough to be served a fancy restaurant, it is that good!

Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp green beans: Look for green beans that are bright green in color and have no blemishes. Avoid beans that are limp or wilted.
- Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the green beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the beans are bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. 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 the almonds are golden brown and fragrant.
- Use a variety of greens: In addition to green beans, you can also use other greens in this salad, such as arugula, spinach, or kale. This will add a variety of flavors and textures to the salad.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it easy to assemble the salad at the last minute.
Conclusion:
This toasted almond green bean salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright flavors and crunchy texture, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
