Green Beans in Garlic Marinade Recipe


Garlic contains immune-boosting compounds that, when consumed daily, may help prevent spring sinus trouble and allergies. 

Ingredients: 
3/4 pound green beans
2 carrots, julienned
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dark (toasted) sesame oil
2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons lemon juice 
1 teaspoon regular or reduced-sodium soy sauce 
1 Tablespoon minced fresh chives

Steam the green beans and carrots over boiling water until they’re brightly colored and just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. 

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. When the green beans and carrots are ready, pat them dry and add them to the bowl, tossing well to combine. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Serve very slightly chilled as a lunch or dinner salad.
