• 2 lb. fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
• 1/4 C. red wine vinegar
• 1/4 C. olive oil
• 1 Tbs. fresh basil, chopped
• 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp. sugar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 small sweet onion, sliced
• 1/3 C. sliced almonds

Place beans in a large pot and pour in just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 8 - 10 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender. Meanwhile mix together vinegar and next five ingredients and mix well. When beans are done combine with onion and pour vinegar mixture over, then toss to coat and sprinkle with almonds.
