Bored with the same old salads? Try making one with green beans! I'm also adding some celery and use lemon to give it a delightfully refreshing taste!

Serves 6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 lbs. Green beans, trimmed
  • 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon dried chervil
  • 1/4 Cup thinly sliced shallots

  • 2 Cups diagonally sliced celery

  • 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/3 Cup chopped parsley

  • 2 Tablespoons grated lemon peel

  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions:

Cook the green beans in lightly salted water for 5 to 7 minutes or until tender-crisp.

Drain the beans and plunge into a bowl of ice water.

Drain thoroughly, pat dry with paper towels.

Heat the oil in large skillet over medium heat.

Add shallots, chervil, and celery; cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes.

Add green beans, lemon juice, parsley and lemon peel; toss to combine.

Cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until beans are warm.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.
