Rinse and snap the end of the beans; remove any discolored or damaged beans.
On high heat, bring water to boil; once boiling, add salt.
Add green beans; bring back to boil and cook for 5-7 minutes; do NOT cook more than 7 minutes.
Set up a big bowl of ice water next to your stove.
Once you've hit the 5-7 minute mark, remove beans and immediately submerge in cold water; allow beans to chill for 1-minute; remove from ice water and pat dry; serve immediately.
If you want to heat the beans after you remove them from the ice bath, heat a dry skillet on medium-high heat. Working in batches, place a single layer of beans in the hot skillet, rotate and toss the beans to ensure all of the beans get warm, then plate on a serving platter.
