Trim the green beans and cook them in boiling salted water until crisp-tender (about 5-7 minutes). Immediately rinse with cold water to preserve their bright green color.
Prepare the vinaigrette: in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, grated garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the flavors combine.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked green beans with the vinaigrette, making sure each bean is evenly coated.
Sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley, and if desired, add toasted almond flakes for a crunchy texture.
Serve the salad immediately while fresh, or chill to serve cold. It's a perfect side dish or a light appetizer.
