Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper cut into thin strips

- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the bell pepper and green beans and stir to coat. Add the salt, black pepper and water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until green beans are tender.

Add the lemon zest, lemon juice and almonds and toss to combine. Serve hot, at room temp, or chilled.
