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.

2 to 3 garlic cloves, pressed
