Fresh garden green beans with cherry tomatoes




Fresh green beans with cherry tomatoes


1/3 cup of cold water


2 cups of green beans


1/4 cup of cherry tomatoes


1/8 teaspoon of garlic salt


olive oil


1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt




Here is a quick way to prepare green beans from the garden. I made it the other day and had it four times that week! It's a simple and delicious side dish that is lowfat and bursting with flavor.


To prepare:



Simply trim the edges of the green beans and wash.


Put the water in a pan and add the green beans to blanch for 2-3 minutes until the water is gone. When the water is gone, add about 1 tablespoon to 2 tablespoons of olive oil to give the green beans a quick saute. Cook for around 3 minutes.




Add the garlic salt, kosher salt and cherry tomatoes and cook for around 1 minute.




Serve and enjoy!
