Ingredients

3/4 lb (340 g) green beans, trimmed
2 tomatoes, each cut into 8 wedges
1/4 cup (45 g) almonds, roasted and roughly chopped
3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil
1 tbsp (15 ml) white wine vinegar
2 tbsp (30 ml) fresh chives, chopped

Preparation

In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the green beans for 4 to 5 minutes or until they are tender. Plunge into ice water to cool. Drain. If desired, on a work surface, halve the beans lengthwise (see note).
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Serve as an appetizer or with fish or grilled meat.

Note from Ricardo

Halving the beans lengthwise makes them thinner, more pliable and better able to absorb the dressing.
