An authentic Chinese dish, that happens to be one of my very favorites. I searched a long time for one that tasted restaurant quality and was easy to make! You can subsitute long beans cut into 3 inch segments for the green beans to make it even more authentic.

SAUTEED STRING BEANS WITH ALMONDS (WEIGHT WATCHERS)



Sauteed String Beans With Almonds (Weight Watchers) image

This recipe was published on the WW site last year. I made it for Thanksgiving dinner and everyone loved it. According to WW, a 3/4 cup serving is 1 point. Prep time includes snapping the fresh green beans. If you're faster than me or you're using frozen green beans, it won't take as long. For variety, you can substitute pine nuts for the almonds. Toast the pine nuts the same as the almonds.
