Instructions

    1.
    Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and simmer for 4-5 minutes, until they are just tender-crisp. Drain the beans immediately and refresh them under cold water to stop the cooking process and maintain their vibrant color.
    2.
    While the green beans are cooking, quarter the tomatoes and radishes. Dice the cucumber and avocado into bite-sized pieces. Roughly chop the lettuce. In a large salad bowl, combine all these prepared vegetables and toss gently to ensure an even mix.
    3.
    Once the green beans are cooled, dice them into thirds to make them easier to eat. Add the diced green beans to the salad bowl. Season the salad with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper. Toss everything together gently but thoroughly.
    4.
    Finely chop the fresh chives. In a small mixing bowl, combine the chopped chives with the lemon juice and olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir the ingredients well until they are fully emulsified.
    5.
    Just before serving, drizzle the lemony chive oil dressing over the salad. Ensure the dressing is evenly distributed to coat all the vegetables. Serve the salad immediately for the best flavor and texture.
