- While beans are cooking make a large bowl of ice water. Drop the crispy tender beans into the ice water to stop the cooking. Pour cooled beans into colander to drain.
- In a large bowl combine green onion, garlic, vinegar and olive oil.
- Cut cool dried beans into 1/2 inch lengths; toss with dressing and figs.
