Ingredients:
1 pound green beans, trimmed |
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice |
1 teaspoon lightly packed lemon zest |
1 teaspoon rinsed and finely chopped cured anchovies (about 2 fillets) |
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced |
1/2 cup thinly sliced cured pitted black olives |
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
Directions:
1. Bring a medium pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high heat. Prepare a water bath by filling a bowl halfway with ice water.
2. Once water boils, add green beans until cooked but still firm, about 4 minutes. Place in ice water bath until cool. Drain and shake off excess water.
3. In a medium nonreactive bowl, thoroughly mix olive oil, juice, zest, and anchovies; season well with salt and pepper. Add green beans, shallot, olives, and parsley, and mix well; taste, adjust seasoning as needed. Salad can be served immediately though flavor improves as it sits.
