This French-inspired side dish makes a great addition to any dinner table, especially holiday dinners. From Mother's Day to Christmas, the fresh sauteed green beans get a nutty crunch from the deeply flavorful toasted almonds. Ready in less than 20 minutes, this family-friendly recipe feeds a crowd. Serve with roasted turkey, chicken or alongside some pan-seared salmon. Experiment with different nuts for different flavor profiles. Pine nuts make a great pairing as well and toasting them is just as easy as the almonds.
