These sesame green beans are a lovely, snappy side dish that can be served hot or cold with equal success. The preparation is super simple and quick – the whole process takes less than 10 minutes – but the presentation looks artful and impressive (If you want it to! No judgement if you skip our method and just toss the green beans and sesame seeds in the tahini dressing in a salad bowl!) Our classic tahini dressing is creamy, but naturally dairy-free.
