Steps
Fill a large bowl with ice cubes and water. Set aside, with a clean kitchen towel.
Bring a medium pot of generously salted water to a boil. Carefully place the beans in the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 3-5 minutes.
Drain the beans in a colander and immediately transfer them to the ice bath to shock them. Allow them to sit in the ice bath for about 5 minutes to cool slightly.
Drain and place the beans on the clean kitchen towel. Dry them to remove most of the excess water. Transfer to a large, clean mixing bowl.
Add the remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and toss gently. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature.
