ingredients
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

- 1 (14 ounce) bag frozen edamame (shelled)
- 1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 large garlic clove

directions
- Cook green beans in a 6-8 quart pot of boiling, salted water (2 tablespoons salt), uncovered, until crisp-tender, 6-8 minutes. With a wire skimmer or a slotted spoon, immediately transfer beans to a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop the cooking. When beans are cool, transfer with a spoon or skimmer to paper towels to drain.
- Return water to a boil and cook edamame until crisp-tender, 5-6 minutes. Drain and transfer to bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. When edamame are cool, drain and transfer to dry paper towels to drain.
- Pat green beans dry and transfer to a large bowl. Pat edamame dry and add to green beans. Stir in chickpeas.
- Mince garlic and mash to a paste with 1/2 teaspoons salt, using side of a large heavy knife. Transfer garlic paste to a blender. Add remaining ingredients, other than bean mixture, and blend, scraping down sides occasionally until smooth.
- Add dressing to beans and season with salt. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour to allow flavors to blend. Serve salad with lemon wedges.
