Green Bean Citrus Salad

Green Beans are in season, and I thought a green bean salad would be a different way to prepare this vegetable. The Green Bean Citrus Salad is inspired from the Greek Green Bean Salad, Fasolkiaa Me Yemistes. It is easy to prepare, as well as low in fat and calories.

Recipe:
1 lb green beans, trimmed to bite size pieces
2 Tbsp olive oil
Juice of one lemon
Zest of one lemon
1 Tbsp of fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 Tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
1 Tbsp fresh oregano, finely chopped
Salt and Ground black paper for taste

Put cut green beans into salted boiling water. Cook until tender. Remove from heat, drain, and place in a large bowl of ice water. Keep in ice bath for 5 minutes.

Place olive oil, lemon juice and zest, parsley, mint, and oregano in a small bowl. Whisk together. Add salt and pepper for taste. Drain green beans and toss in dressing.
