It is so fun to find ways to eat and use the end-of-the-summer harvest. My friend had blessed us some string beans from her abundance. We were off to a potluck, and I needed a super quick side. I put this together in less than two minutes with some flavors we had around the kitchen! Got to love that!

The Verdict: This is my choice way of eating string beans!! It’s a way I can eat something I think normally tastes like dirt and actually enjoy it!! Just being honest. Even my kids eat it!
Yum! I love string beans straight from the garden. But, adding lemon to anything makes me happy. I think my kids would enjoy this too. They are more of the dilly bean sort, but with the lemon, they might enjoy it.
I can’t believe that I’ve never tried string beans raw! I must pick some up at the farmer’s market on Saturday and give this a try! Thanks so much for sharing it at Raw Foods Thursdays!
Mmm… I love green beans! These sounds fabulous! Have a great week!
