Yield Makes 6 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

For pistou
2 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves
6 garlic cloves, minced (1 1/2 tablespoons)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
For salad
1 medium red onion, halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced crosswise
1 1/2 lb haricots verts or other thin green beans, trimmed

Steps:

  • Make pistou:
  • Purée all pistou ingredients in a food processor until basil is finely chopped.
  • Make salad:
  • Soak onion in cold water 15 minutes, then drain in a colander and pat dry.
  • While onion soaks, cook beans in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3 to 6 minutes, then drain in a large colander. Transfer to a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then drain again and pat dry.
  • Toss beans and onion with pistou. Season with salt and pepper.
