You know, since I gave you some amazing cupcakes yesterday…it’s all about balance. (Um, but I’m still eating those cupcakes like there’s no tomorrow. I managed to get most of them out of the house by having Mikey take them to work, but I couldn’t bear to part with the last couple because OMG they go so well with a cuppa coffee…)

It kinda sounds like an odd combination of ingredients, but I promise you it is a grand crescendo of delicious flavors. Yes. I just said “crescendo.” I have no idea why that was the word that came to mind, but it’s happening and we’re going with it.
The sauce that coats the beans is kinda creamy, with a certain pungency that comes from the whole grain mustard, and a freshness from the minced herbs. Plus, the toasted almond slices add great crunch. It’s addictive as hell!
So, aside from the fact that this is super tasty, it also can be ready in FIVE MINUTES! How insane is that?! Annnnnd, you can eat it warm, at room temperature, or cold.
It’s a no-brainer recipe that you can whip up to accompany anything from a store-bought rotisserie chicken, to a couple quickly grilled salmon fillets. Basically what I’m saying is, make these green beans with anything and everything.

Thanks, Sarah! I feel like crème fraîche can make anything sound fancy 😛
Wow – I can’t believe such a fancy and delicious-looking veggie side comes together so quickly! Veggie sides are the category in which I most often fall into ruts, so I’m super glad to see new ideas and recipes in that area – thanks for sharing the recipe 🙂

I agree! I so often just end up roasting whatever veggie in the oven with some olive oil, salt, & pepper (um, not that there is anything wrong with that), so it’s nice to change it up once in a while!
Thank you!
This look delish! Love the mustard and creme fraiche- so good.
