Step 1

Fill a large soup pot 2/3 with water and bring to a rapid boil. Add 1 Tbsp salt, 1 Tbsp lemon juice (or vinegar), and 2 lbs trimmed green beans. Partially cover and boil 6-7 min or until crisp-tender, drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

Step 2

In a large heavy-bottomed skillet, over medium heat, add 4 Tbsp olive oil, minced garlic and 1/3 cup dried cranberries. Saute 2 min or until garlic is golden and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the green beans and drizzle with 1 Tbsp soy sauce and add garlic salt to taste.
