Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds haricots verts, trimmed

  1. Step 1

    Cook beans in medium pot of boiling salted water until just crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold running water to cool quickly. Pat beans dry. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic wrap and chill.)
