Atkins Bean Recipes

Ingredients:

2 lb green beans, trimmed
1 1/2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp finely-minced fresh marjoram or ore
3/4 tsp salt
1 small onion, very thinly sliced
2 tbsp chicken broth
Lemon wedges, (optional)

Instructions:

Fill a large saucepan two-thirds full with water and bring to a boil. Add
beans and cook 6 to 8 minutes, until just tender and still bright green.
Transfer to a colander and rinse under cold water to cool. Drain well.

In a large bowl, toss beans with remaining ingredients except lemon wedges.
Store refrigerated in an airtight container. Bag lemon wedges, if
desired, to serve with salad.

Comments: You can keep your green bean salad bright by not overcooking the
beans and flavoring them with non-acidic lemon peel instead of lemon
juice.
