How to Make Garlic String Green Bean Salad

  1. Wash and trim 1 pound of string beans.
  2. Blanch the string beans in boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  3. Drain the string beans thoroughly.
  4. In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.
  5. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add the blanched string beans, the juice of 1 lemon, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the saucepan.
  7. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender-crisp and the flavors have melded.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature.
