This was a nice and simle side to prepare with dinner, quite tasty too!! :-) I think that the mustard and dill were a bit iffy to some, but I guess thats what happens when you try to serve something YUMMY!! to people who usually eat their veggies plain...and out of a can *blech*. hehe Thanks for the great recipe and the note about toasting almonds! That helped!!!

Quick and easy and tasty! Green beans are one of the few veggies DH will eat, so I'm always looking for new ideas. I skipped the almonds, but otherwise followed the recipe. Nice and tangy with the crispy beans. Thanks!
