Preparation

Step 1

Steam the green beans for about 6-8 minutes, just until they reach that delicious crispy yet tender point.

While the beans steam, combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl.

Drain the beans and place them in a pretty bowl. Toss with the sauce and serve immediately.

Or prepare the beans and mix with the sauce early in the day, and take them to a picnic. The beans are just as delicious cold.
