Notes
Amy's tip: Prepare the bowl of cold water and ice cubes before you start blanching the vegetables. It only takes a a brief moment for the beans to become limp and lose their vibrant color. But if you shock them with the ice water, they won't continue to cook, and you'll have perfect beans every time.
Leftovers will last refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy them reheated or at room temperature in a salad.
