Instructions (4 steps)

01Prepare green beans by snapping them or cutting them to approx 1 inch in length and rinsing them.
02Over a pot of boiling water, steam beans for 15-20 minutes (until just tender with a little"bite" to them; Also, to steam I use a covered colander over a Dutch oven filled 1/4th full with water) Remove steamed beans and turn into a serving bowl.
03Add all of the rest of the ingredients, seasoning to taste.
04Enjoy!
