Simple green beans can be a staple at any meal, all year long. But if you sprinkle a few sliced almonds on top, they become holiday fare! That’s all there is to these Holiday Green Beans. Just take the green beans you enjoy all year (you do like green beans, don’t you?), add a few almond slices as garnish, and presto, they’re fancy enough for a holiday dinner. Now, wasn’t that easy? If you really want to look like you know what you’re doing in the kitchen, you can add a sprinkle of chopped, fresh dill. Now you’re just showing off.
