Have got lots of green beans and I went to a gathering a couple of years ago and someone had a green bean salad which was lovely. Looking for a recipe. thanks

That link is a little hokey, here's the details:

1kg green beans, topped and tailed
200g flaked almonds
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the Dressing
2 small heads of garlic
2–3 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tsp dijon mustard
2 tsp runny honey
150ml olive oil

Method

1 Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas 4.

2 Wrap the garlic for the dressing in foil and roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes until soft. Remove and leave to cool.

3 Meanwhile, blanch the green beans by plunging them in plenty of boiling salted water for 1½ minutes until their rawness has been removed but they are still crunchy. Refresh immediately under cold running water, then drain and leave to one side.

4 Lightly toast the almonds in a medium-hot dry frying pan for 2–3 minutes until golden. Leave to cool.

5 Mix together the cooled beans and almonds with a little seasoning.

6 Remove the flesh from the garlic heads and mash with 1 tablespoon of the white wine vinegar until a smooth paste is formed. Add the mustard and honey and mix well. Pour in the olive oil in a slow drizzle, stirring constantly to thicken. Taste and season as necessary, adding a little more vinegar if needed.

7 Dress the green beans, toss to coat well and serve.
