Kick-start by boiling a large pot of water. This is where our green beans will take a brief dive.
Once boiling, add a pinch of salt followed by the green beans.
Allow the beans to cook for about 3-4 minutes, ensuring they remain crisp.
Once done, drain the beans and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water. This retains their vibrant green color.
In a separate bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Whisk it up!
Season this dressing with salt and pepper to align with your palate.
Now, in a serving bowl, mix the blanched green beans and toasted chopped almonds.
Drizzle that zesty dressing over your bean-almond mix, ensuring every bit gets some love.
Give it a gentle toss and garnish with the fresh chopped parsley.
