Ingredients:

675g green beans, topped and tailed, then cut into 3cm lengths
120ml olive oil
120ml vinegar
4 tbsp fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 spring onions, chopped

Method:

Steam the green beans for about 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain then set aside in a bowl to cool.

Whisk together the oil, vinegar and seasonings in a small bowl. Pour the dressing over the beans, add the spring onions and toss gently to combine. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator until chilled (it is even better if left over night and served the following day).
