Instructions

Cook green beans in a large pot or skillet of boiling salted water until crisp tender. (I boiled mine for 4 minutes. If you prefer them softer, add an extra minute.)

Run under cold water or put in an ice bath. Drain and place on paper towels to dry.

Combine vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in oils. Add beans and onions and toss well. Top with almonds and serve!
