Instructions

  1. Blanch the green beans: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the green beans, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Transfer immediately to an ice bath to preserve the bright green color and crisp texture.

  3. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the blanched green beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, and toasted almonds.
  4. Toss with dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
  5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil before serving. Enjoy immediately.
