Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Rinse fresh vegetables under running water before preparing.

  • Honey is not recommended for children under 1 year old.

Comments

I don't know why I didn't think of this simple way to dress green beans. By the end of the summer I needed new ideas for how to prepare these and this zesty, sweet sauce was a great way to serve them. We also served them to elementary schoolers for our Tasting Table program and they were a success there too!
