Green Bean Salad With Almonds and Red Onions
Looking for information on how to cook fresh green beans? Just steaming and eating fresh green beans is great, but you can make them more interesting too with other green bean recipes. I like them in this green bean salad: Green Beans and Tomato Salad. And here is another green bean salad you can make - combine steamed green beans with almonds, red onions and a zesty lemon dressing.
The lemon dressing uses both lemon rind and lemon juice and makes the whole salad very fresh and lemony. The almonds add crunch and red onions add great color, a bit of spiciness and even more crunch. This is a great salad to serve with lots of different dishes, for example with Chicken Piccata or Shrimp Scampi.
