Green Bean Salad - The Rustic Heart

This recipe has been in my family for generations. I remember my Grandmother then my Mother making it and now I make it. I made this salad with fresh beans from my garden over the summer and it was amazing.

Ingredients
1 Lb Green Beans
2 tsp Salt
2 TBSP Olive Oil
Juice of 1 Lemon
1 Garlic Clove – Grated

Instructions

Clean the green beans, washing them and removing the ends. In a large pot, bring enough water to a boil to fit the beans. Salt the boiling water. Put the beans in the boiling water. When the water returns to a boil, put your timer on for exactly 2 minutes. Immediately take the beans out of the boiling water and submerge in an ice bath.
Drain the beans and put them in a large bowl. Add the oil, salt, lemon juice and garlic. Toss until all the beans are coated. Serve
