Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb green beans trimmed
  • olive oil spray I use my Misto, or use 1 tsp olive oil
  • ¼ c chopped fresh parsley loosely packed
  • ¼ c chopped fresh basil loosely packed
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Steam green beans for 3-5 minutes, until just fork tender.
  • Plunge beans into an ice bath to stop cooking, or run under cold water for a minute in a pinch. (If you leave them hot, they will quickly turn your chopped basil the most unattractive shade of brown.) Chill in fridge until ready to use if making ahead of time.
  • Spritz beans lightly with olive oil (or drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil) and sprinkle with salt to taste.
  • Add chopped herbs and lemon zest; toss to coat.
