1
Prepare the Green Beans
Trim the ends of the fresh green beans and wash them thoroughly.
2
Blanch the Green Beans
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
3
Make the Garlicky Cilantro Sauce
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh cilantro, garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and well combined.
4
Toss the Green Beans
Once the green beans are cool, drain them from the ice water and add them to a serving bowl. Pour the garlicky cilantro sauce over the green beans and toss gently to coat.
5
Serve
Serve immediately as a side dish or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a refreshing cold dish.
