Delicious green bean recipe perfect for making ahead of time.
Ingredients
1 lb frozen or fresh green beans, cut 1” pieces
1 teaspoon Garlico* (or sub recipe)
2 lemons
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup olive oil
Mint, dry or fresh
Instructions
- In a serving bowl add Garlico, squeeze two fresh lemons, salt and olive oil to make a dressing.
- Steam green beans until al dente (firm to bite, not soft and mushy), then sit until room temperature.
- Toss green beans in large bowl with dressing.
- Recipe is best if made the night before so green beans absorb the juice.
- When it’s time to serve, add dry mint or fresh mint for added flavor.
