Instructions

Steam the green beans in a steamer basket over boiling water for a few minutes until crisp tender. (You could also steam the green beans in a steamable bag or container in the microwave, if preferred.)
Remove from the heat, transfer the beans into a bowl of ice water to shock them. This will prevent them from cooking farther and also help them keep their vibrant green color.
Combine the vinaigrette ingredients — the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, pepper and salt in a mason jar or a small bowl. Whisk or shake until combined.
Remove the green beans from the ice bath, and place in another bowl.
Pour the vinaigrette on top of the green beans.
Toss using tongs until everything has been coated.
Enjoy warm.
