Step by step recipe

---

Stage 1 - 15 min.

Prepare and rinse 750 g green beans.

---

Stage 2 - 2 min.

It isn't essential, but the beans are much more pleasant to eat and cook more rapidly if they are cut up.

---

Stage 3 - 7 min.

Tip the beans into a large pan of boiling salted water and cook until tender.

---

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Drain them...

---

Stage 5 - 2 min.

..and dry thoroughly (you can also use a salad spinner for this).

It is most important for the beans to be "dry", otherwise they will release water once in the salad bowl and ruin the vinaigrette.

---

Stage 6 - 4 min.

Prepare 1 shallot and chop finely.

Chop the herbs (parsley shown here).

---

Stage 7 - 1 min.

Put the beans, shallot and and herbs into a salad bowl...

---

Stage 8 - 2 min.

...add 5 tablespoons French dressing (vinaigrette), mix well and it's ready.

Remarks

A variant is to mix in the beans while they are still hot (well drained, of course) for a delicious warm brean salad.
