String Bean Salad

SALATIT EL LOUBIEH

Wash tender fresh green string beans. Remove stem ends and strings if necessary. Cut lengthwise or in several pieces crosswise. Cook in pressure cooker for 12 minutes under pressure. When beans are cool, place them in a salad bowl and dress to taste with lemon juice, olive oil, crushed garlic and salt.
