Lemony Almond-Feta Green Beans Recipe image

When you find a vegetable recipe that demands second helpings, it's worth sharing. I made these green beans for a dinner party, and that's exactly what happened. I like to use haricot verts, the skinny type of green bean. -Samantha Bowman, Houston, Texas
