A hint of balsamic vinegar gives a fresh taste to this simple side shared by Glenda Malan. "Sliced almonds dress up green beans tastefully when company's coming," she relates from Lake Forest, California. "I can't think of an entree this dish doesn't complement."

I made these beans for thanksgiving dinner. Doubled the recipe and made them the night prior to the big feast. I put the beans in a casserole dish and reheated at 350 for 20 minutes. They were crunchy and flavorful. The only change I made was using Tyme instead of tarragon because I didn't have tarragon. Everyone really like the light and fresh tasting side among the sea of heavy, cheesy, starchy side dishes that were available.
Easy to prepare, this was a flavorful side dish. It did require 2 pans and 2 burners which was a little cumbersome while making a stove-top entree. Would probably choose it next time for an entree that was in the oven or grille.
