   Steamed Green Beans
    with Lemon Vinaigrette

Ingredients:
  • 1-1/4 lb. green beans, trimmed and rinsed
  • 3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise or heavy cream
  • 1 Tablespoon minced shallots
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup canola oil or grapeseed oil (cold pressed)
  • 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper

Steam the green beans until tender, about 5 min. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, mayonnaise, shallots, salt, and pepper. Add the oil in a slow stream, whisking constantly until the vinaigrette is well blended. Toss the cooked beans with the red pepper and enough vinaigrette to coat, about 1/3 cup. Serve warm, with extra vinaigrette on the side, if you like.

Makes 4 Servings.   4.5 carbs per serving.
