Recipe Instructions:

Prepare the Green Beans: Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water.
Blanch the Beans: Slowly drop the green beans into the boiling water. Be careful as you add them to maintain the boiling water.
Add Baking Soda: Once all the beans are in the pot, add 1-2 tablespoons of baking soda. This will help to soften the beans and preserve their vibrant green color.
Manage Boiling: Keep a close eye on the pot as the addition of baking soda may cause it to boil up and over. If necessary, reduce the heat slightly to prevent this.
Skim the Surface: As the beans cook, scum may gather on the surface of the water. Use a spoon to skim off any impurities.
Cook Until Tender: Continue simmering and stirring the beans for about 8 to 12 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
Drain and Serve: Once the beans are cooked to your liking, drain them well and transfer them to a serving dish.
Prepare the Dressing: In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter either in the microwave or in a small pan on the stove. Stir in the fresh basil, dill, and parsley until well combined.
Dress the Beans: Pour the herb-infused butter over the cooked green beans, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Serve Hot: Present the hot dressed green beans immediately as a flavorful and vibrant side dish.
