Step by step recipe
Stage 1

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 7
1 min.
Put the beans, shallot and and herbs into a salad bowl...
Remarks
A variant is to mix in the beans while they are still hot (well drained, of course) for a delicious warm brean salad.
