Green Bean Salad with Fresh Mint

INGREDIENTS

1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
8 fresh mint leaves, chopped
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp rice vinegar
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Bring a pot of salted water up to a rolling boil and blanch the beans for about 4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Drain and rinse in cold water until completely cooled. Drain very well and place in a large zip-lock plastic bag.

Add the rest of the ingredients, press out most of the air, and seal the bag. Shake the bag to mix the ingredients well and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavours combine. Serve cold.
