Favorite Kale Salad of the Year

Kale, finely sliced into thin ribbons
Slivered almonds, toasted

3-6 cloves of garlic, minced

Toss beans with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Marinate for 30 minutes while you pre-heat the grill to 400 degrees. Make a foil bowl and put beans in it. Place on a hot grill, stirring regularly so garlic will brown but not totally burn. Should take 8-12 minutes. Serve hot.

Penelope Casa's Garlic Green Beans

Great new preparation for green beans. They were way better than I expected. Instead of tasting over-cooked, they had great flavor. Found it in the new Food 52 cookbook.
