Have you noticed? I love the flavor of garlic. It’s also very good for you. This dish is delicious hot or cold, and the vinaigrette is also good on salads or other vegetables.

1 pound fresh green beans

Garlic Vinaigrette (recipe follows)

Steam the beans until tender and still slightly crunchy; don’t overcook. Toss with vinaigrette and serve.
