Dressing:

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves, chopped fine
1/4 cup white wine vinegar or tarragon vinegar
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper

1. Bring 2 quarts salted water to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the green beans and cook them until they are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain the beans and plunge them immediately into ice water to stop their cooking. Drain them again and pat them dry.

Make salad dressing from scratch. You can get ideas from Food Network.com or Allrecipes.com. Once you make your own dressings, you'll never go back to the nasty bottled stuff!
