A refreshing and flavorful green bean salad topped with a creamy lemon dressing, perfect for a light meal or side dish.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the green beans until tender-crisp.
Blanching helps preserve the beans' bright green color and crisp texture.
Transfer the blanched beans to an ice bath to cool them quickly, then drain and pat dry.
Cooling the beans immediately stops the cooking process, ensuring they remain crisp.
In a food processor, combine the green onions, garlic, lemon juice, yogurt, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Arrange the lettuce leaves on serving plates and top with the green beans.
Use crisp lettuce leaves to add a refreshing crunch to the salad.
Drizzle the dressing over the green beans and serve chilled.
Chilling the salad enhances its refreshing qualities, making it perfect for warm days.
