2 pounds green beans, trimmed
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon finely minced fresh marjoram or oregano
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 small onion, very thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chicken broth
Lemon wedges, optional
1. Fill a large saucepan two-thirds full with water and bring
to a boil. Add beans and cook 6 to 8 minutes, until just
tender and still bright green. Transfer to a colander and
rinse under cold water to cool. Drain well.
2. In a large bowl, toss beans with remaining ingredients
except lemon wedges. Store refrigerated in an airtight
container. Bag lemon wedges, if desired, to serve with
salad.
You can keep your green bean salad bright by cooking the
beans in salted water and flavoring them with nonacidic lemon
peel instead of lemon juice.
