  Fill a large stockpot 2/3 full with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Prepare a large ice bath. When the water is boiling, add 1 Tbsp of salt.After the water has returned to a rolling boil, add half of the green beans. Cook until al dente, about 2 minutes. Remove with a strainer and place the beans in the ice bath to cool. Remove the green beans from the water and place on paper towels to dry. Repeat with the remaining green beans. Alternatively, place the green beans on a clean dish cloth and roll up to remove the water.
