This sautéed green beans recipe is a delicious, easy side dish! A quick lemon dressing fills the beans with bright flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 12 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, mustard, salt, and several grinds of pepper. Stir in the thyme leaves.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans and toss to coat. Add the water, cover, and cook 5 for minutes, or until the beans are tender but still have a slight bite. Transfer to the bowl with the lemon mixture and toss. Season to taste and transfer to a serving platter, leaving any excess water behind.
