Simple Green Bean Salad image

This salad is soooo easy but extremely delicious! It is great hot, cold, or in between. If I didn't have a huge sweet tooth, I could very happily live on just this salad and crusty bread forever!

Time 7m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

500 g frozen green beans
2 -3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4-1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Boil or steam green beans until tender-crisp (hint: use a bit of salt in the water to make the beans their greenest).
  • Meanwhile, add garlic and oil to medium-sized serving bowl.
  • Mix.
  • Once they're cooked, drain the beans and toss them in the olive oil& garlic mixture.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • If you can, let the salad sit for 30 minutes (or more) to let the flavours combine.
  • Serve at desired temperature.
  • Note: this salad is also very tasty with some finely chopped onion (preferably sweet) added with the garlic.
  • You can also use a mix of greeen and yellow beans for additional colour.
