On Easter, I was looking for the *perfect* spring side dish and these Honey Ginger Green Beans came to the rescue. Don’t get me wrong – I adore my favorite Stovetop Green Bean Casserole but in the spring, I wanted something a bit lighter but with a bit of pep. I found a recipe on AllRecipes that looked fabulous and tinkered with it a bit until I got the perfect marriage of flavors – spicy, sweet, salty and a bit of brightness thanks to a squeeze of lemon.
This dish comes together unbelievably fast – a quick blanch in some boiling water followed by an icy cold rinse to stop the cooking and keep the beans crisp. The sauce simmers and perfumes the kitchen with the wonderful smell of honey and ginger. A quick toss of the green beans in the bubbling sauce and *viola* – the a delicious veggie side that even the little ones will love.
So, when you are looking a springtime side dish, why not give this recipe for Honey Ginger Green Beans a try – your family and friends will adore it!
