Salatah El Loobyea (Lebanese Green Bean Salad) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb green beans
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Combine all ingredients except the green beans to make a dressing. Let the onion marinate in the dressing for at least one hour (the longer, the better).
Snap the ends from the green beans. If they're large, break them further so they're about the size of your index finger. Cook in boiling weater until tender, then drain.
Mix with the dressing, being sure to coat the green beans well. Let cool and serve, or better yet, chill in the refrigerator before serving.
