Step by Step Method
Step 1
Steam green beans until just crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
While the beans steam, place the oil in a small skillet with the sunflower seeds and cook, stirring, over medium heat until the seeds are golden brown. Do not overcook. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Add the garlic to the skillet. Stir well. When the seeds have cooled slightly, stir in the vinegar.
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss the beens with the seed mixture. Cool, then chill until ready to serve.
Step 5
To serve, arrange beans over a bed of spinach and garnish with chopped green onion.
