For an extra layer of flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving. Toasting the pine nuts brings out their natural oils and enhances their flavor. Watch them carefully as they can burn quickly. Blanching the green beans ensures they retain their vibrant green color and crisp-tender texture. If you don't have pine nuts, slivered almonds or chopped walnuts can be used as a substitute.
