Step 1

In a medium skillet, warm the olive oil and garlic over medium heat. When fragrant, add the beans and fresh ground black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes until warmed through.

Step 2

If using, in a medium bowl, stir together the vinaigrette. Toss the beans with the dressing and serve warm. If needed, add kosher salt to taste. Serve as a side dish, vegetarian or vegan protein, or on top of salads.
