Green Beans Almondine

I love fresh green beans and this almondine recipe

makes them extra delicious for everyday

and special enough for holiday dinners.

Rinse 1 pound fresh green beans.

Trim ends.

Place in a  microwave-safe dish with a sprinkle

 of water. Cover and cook 5 minutes drain well.

 You can also stem cook them with a little water in
covered saute pan for 5 minutes.

 Drain well!

 Add the butter, seasoned salt, and almonds.
Saute 2 minutes until the almonds are toasted.
Toss it all together and continue cooking,
stirring frequently, for another 3-5
 minutes just until the beans are tender.
Sprinkle with lemon juice.
