- 1/2 teaspoon honey, agave, or maple syrup
- salt and freshy ground pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced

- 2 tablespoons candied or toasted slivered almonds
- 2 tangerines, peeled and divided into segments
- Toss the green beans with olive oil and salt and roast in a shallow pan at 425 degrees for about 30 minutes, until they have shriveled somewhat and are getting a little brown.
- While they roast, make the vinaigrette. Whisk the mustard, honey, garlic, salt and pepper.rnWhisk in the vinegar, mix well, then whisk in the olive oil, 1 Tbsp at a time.
- Mix the vinaigrette with the romaine (you don't have to use all the dressing, leftovers are wonderful to use later). Arrange the greens on a plate,
- When the beans are ready and still hot, arrange them on the romaine. Garnish with tangerine segments, dots of goat cheese, and a sprinkling of the almonds.
- Note: to candy the almonds, heat a small skillet with 2 Tbsp sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until sugar dissolves and almonds have a nice golden coat. Cool on a plate before serving.
