- 1 ½ pounds haricot verts or thin green beans
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves thinly sliced lengthwise
- ½ pound baby arugula about 6 cups
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- ¾ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the beans and cook until tender, about 4-6 minutes. Drain in a colander.
In a large heavy bottom skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté until golden, about 1 minute. Add the beans, arugula, zest, salt and pepper. Sauté until arugula is wilted, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the vinegar and toss to combine. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
