This super easy side dish is a wonderful picnic or potluck recipe. It’s a beautiful, surprising mix that leaves guests and family raving. You can substitute any kind of nut for the pine nuts or even replace them with fresh berries. —Wolfgang Hanau, West Palm Beach, Florida

Test Kitchen tips
  • Look for green beans labeled as haricots verts. They are thinner and more tender than regular green beans.
  • If you substitute regular green beans, increase the cook time by 30-60 minutes.
