Gremolata, a blend of lemon zest, parsley and garlic, is perfection as a flavoring for summer’s new-crop green beans. Visit your farmers’ market for crisp, slender, deep-green beans. Use them as a center piece on greens and add tuna for a refreshing salad. So easy! So refreshing for summer! Enjoy.

16 oz. of fresh Green beans
4 tsp Olive oil
1 clove of Garlic, minced
2 TBS fresh lemon juice
