Green Bean Slaw with Almonds
Ingredients:
- 8 oz. French green beans
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth, or vegetable broth
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- 2 hard boiled eggs, crumbled
- For the vinaigrette:
- 1 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Juice of 2 lemons
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Directions:
- In a large straight-sided sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the green beans and season with salt and pepper. Saute for 3-4 minutes, or until the green beans start to get tender; add in the chicken stock, reduce the heat to medium and cook the beans for another 3 minutes.
- In the meantime, whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together in a small bowl until emulsified.
- Place a portion of the cooked green beans on each serving plate. Drizzle with some of the vinaigrette, the almonds, and finally the topping of crumbled egg. Serve warm.
