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.
