Bring pot of water and salt to a boil. 

In your large bowl, add in ice (or really cold water).

In your small cup, add apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and cranberry juice or sauce for the dressing.

Mix dressing vigorously and set to the side.

When water is boiling, add green beans in and cook for 1 minute from fresh or 2 minutes from frozen.

Immediately drain water and dunk beans into the ice water. If using cold water drain immediately and run cold water over it. (this will keep the temperature down) 

Drain and dry the beans.

In the same big bowl, add the dressing and toss.

Top with lemon zest, almond slivers, and craisins if you have them. 

Serve.
