Tangy Green Beans

Tangy Green Beans are my kids favorite and also a sure crowd pleaser.

They're a wonderful side dish to any main dish.

This is my favorite way to prepare green beans. I recommend these Tangy Green Beans to anyone looking to integrate healthier side dishes into their diet, that are bursting with flavor.

Green beans are low in calories, and high in fiber, folate and potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure. Vinegar gives these green beans a tangy flavor which is fresh and a pop of flavor. The toasted almonds are a flavor boost, don't skip those.
