Time 21m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb fresh green beans
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon, halved
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Toss green beans in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, until bright green and still crunchy.
  • Drain and "shock" in ice water to stop cooking.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Olive oil cooking spray works just as well, if you want to shave a few calories.
  • Add beans and saute for 1-2 minutes, until heated through. It's okay if some of the beans brown up a bit.
  • Transfer to serving dish.
  • Squeeze lemon halves over the beans and toss to coat.
  • Add salt to taste. (I omit this step).
