Ingredients
1 pound	green beans, stem ends removed
1 teaspoon	salt
1 tablespoon	olive oil
2 teaspoons	garlic, minced
	salt and pepper to taste

Preparation
Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add 1 teaspoon of salt. Add green beans, uncovered and cook until tender, yet firm, approximately 6-8 minutes. Remove from pot and pour cold water over beans until cool. This will help beans retain vibrant green color. Heat a large saute pan, add oil and heat over medium-high heat.
