Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup whole almonds (about 1-1/2ounces)
4 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 pound green beans, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large garlic clove, pressed
1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Place almonds in small nonstick skillet. Stir over medium heat until almonds are lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Increase heat medium-high. Add 3 teaspoons soy sauce and stir until soy sauce evaporates and coats almonds, about 1 minute. Transfer to plate and cool. Chop almonds. Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. Rinse beans under cold water. Drain well. (Almonds and beans can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover almonds and store at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate beans; bring to room temperature before continuing.)
  • Whisk vinegar, oil, garlic, ginger and remaining 1 teaspoon soy sauce in large bowl to blend. Add beans and toss to coat. Sprinkle green onions, cilantro and almonds over salad and serve.

This salad was easy to make and pretty good. The dressing was a bit too heavy for my taste, but the almonds were a nice touch.

I found this salad to be bland and uninspired. The dressing was very watery and didn't have much flavor. The almonds were also a bit stale.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a dressing with less sugar. The almonds were also a bit too crunchy for my liking.

I'm always looking for new ways to prepare green beans, and this salad is a great option. The dressing is light and flavorful, and the almonds add a nice crunch. I also appreciate that this salad is relatively healthy.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover green beans. I added some chopped red bell pepper and crumbled feta cheese to mine and it was delicious. The dressing is also really versatile - I've used it on other salads and even as a marinade for chic

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this salad. I'm not usually a fan of green beans, but the soy-glazed almonds and dressing really made them shine. I'll definitely be making this again.

This green bean salad was a hit at my last potluck! The soy-glazed almonds added a delicious crunch and sweetness that balanced out the bitterness of the green beans. The cilantro and dressing added a refreshing brightness that made this salad a perf
