Green Beans with Scallion Dressing

By Hklbrries

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh green beans, stem ends removed
• 1 bunch scallions
• 3 garlic cloves
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 3/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt

Preparation

Step 1

In plenty of rapidly boiling salted water, cook the beans until tender but just a little crunchy. Drain and plunge into ice water to chill. Drain well, wrap in a towel, and refrigerate. Clean scallions; remove and discard ends and dark tops. Slice as thinly as possible and place in blender. Chop garlic roughly and add to scallions. Add lemon juice, salt, pepper and yogurt and puree at high speed 4 to 6 minutes until very smooth. Chill thoroughly. Remove beans from refrigerator and slice at an angle. Place on lettuce-lined plates and top with a dollop of dressing on each. Serve immediately.
