Tangy Green Beans

1 1/2 lbs fresh green beans (frozen works well too)

1/3 cup diced red pepper

4 1/2 t olive oil

4 1/2 t water

1 1/2 t white wine vinegar

1 1/2 t spicy brwon mustard

3/4 t salt

1/4 t pepper


1/8t garlic powder



Place beans and red pepper in a steamer basket.  Cover and steam for 7-8 minute sor until crisp-tender.  Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients.  Transfer bean mixture to a serving bowl; add vinegrette and stir to coat.



(ed) This recipe came out of Taste of Home’s Low-Carb recipe book.  It’s a great one for people who aren’t really fond of green beans (me) or just as a way to jazz them up. Makes roughly 8 servings.
