Tangy green beans
Dietition's Tip
Green beans also are called string beans or snap beans. Whatever the name, these beans are low in calories, filling and taste best when the beans are thinner than a pencil.

- 1/3 cup diced sweet red bell peppers
- 4 1/2 teaspoons olive oil or canola oil
- 4 1/2 teaspoons water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
For dressing
Directions
In a steamer basket over boiling water, cook beans and red peppers until crisp-tender.
Whisk together all remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
Transfer beans to a serving bowl. Add dressing and stir to coat.
