Taste Rating: 

Tired of the same old side salad with lunch or dinner? Make dieting more interesting with this tasty, easy-to-prepare gourmet side, featuring green beans, one of only a few varieties of beans that can be eaten fresh.

Green beans are a great source of folate, fiber and vitamin K, contain antioxidants, and contains the mineral silicon. While less well-known that minerals like calcium and magnesium—silicon is very important for bone health and for healthy formation of connective tissue. 

My "food critic" husband and I loved this one, and it only takes about 10 minutes to whip-up.  I hope you will love it, too.
