Dietician 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.

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.
