Ingredients
-
1 ½ pounds trimmed green beans
-
2 cups fresh parsley leaves (about 1 bunch)
-
1 clove garlic, sliced
-
2 teaspoons lemon zest
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
½ cup pine nuts, toasted
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Set a bowl of ice water by the stove. Cook green beans until tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain, then transfer to the ice water. When chilled, drain again and pat dry.
-
Place parsley, garlic, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper on a cutting board and chop together until fine and well combined. Transfer the gremolata to a large bowl.
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beans and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, turning with tongs, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and toss with the gremolata. Transfer to a large serving dish and top with pine nuts.
To make ahead
Refrigerate blanched beans (Step 1) airtight for up to 2 days. Refrigerate gremolata (Step 2) for up to 1 day.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
