Servings: persons

1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
salt
1 (14 ounce) bag frozen edamame (shelled)
1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 large garlic clove
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, loosely packed
1/2 teaspoon serrano chili, seeded and finely chopped (can add seeds if you are daring)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed, toasted
1/8 teaspoon cayenne (rounded)

1
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.
2
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.
3
Pat green beans dry and transfer to a large bowl. Pat edamame dry and add to green beans. Stir in chickpeas.
4
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.
5
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.
