Boil or steam green beans until tender-crisp (hint: use a bit of salt in the water to make the beans their greenest).

-
Mix.
-
Once they're cooked, drain the beans and toss them in the olive oil& garlic mixture.
-
Add salt and pepper to taste.

If you can, let the salad sit for 30 minutes (or more) to let the flavours combine.
-
Serve at desired temperature.

Note: this salad is also very tasty with some finely chopped onion (preferably sweet) added with the garlic.

You can also use a mix of greeen and yellow beans for additional colour.
