Ingredients

Green bean dressing:

  • 1/3 cup fish sauce
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon grated garlic
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Green bean aioli:

Green beans:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds fresh green beans tops trimmed
  • 1 small shallot thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup whole cashews

Instructions

Green bean dressing:

  • In the container of a blender add fish sauce, lemon juice, soy sauce, mustard, sriracha, and grated garlic.
  • Start blending and stream in olive oil until combined and vinaigrette-like in consistency. Set aside.

Green bean aioli:

  • In a small bowl whisk together some of the green bean dressing and mayonnaise. The mixture will be loose.

Green beans:

  • In a large saute pan set over medium-high heat add olive oil.
  • Once the oil is hot add in beans, shallots, and most of the leftover green bean sauce. You don't want to boil your beans so don't add too much dressing.
  • Sautee until just soft and add in cashews.
  • Continue cooking until the desired doneness.
  • Once cooked add to a large plate and drizzle with green bean aioli.
  • *If your mixture runs out of sauce while cooking simply add a little more so the beans don't burn. However, you're not cooking the beans for too long since you want them to have a bit of a snap left to them.
