4 servings
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 tsp salt, plus more for the blanching water
- 3 tbsp vegan butter
- ½ cup sliced almonds
Ingredient noteThe Mold Detox diet is cautious about nuts because badly stored nuts can carry mold, but fresh almonds are likely tolerated by many on this diet. Buy nuts that look and smell fresh, and keep opened packages in the fridge or freezer. If you prefer to always avoid almonds, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- flaky sea salt, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3–4 minutes, until bright green and crisp-tender with just a slight bite remaining.

Drain the green beans in a colander and immediately run cold water over them for about 1 minute, until cool to the touch. Set aside.
