POINTS Value | 1
Servings | 8
Preparation Time | 20 min
Cooking Time | 10 min
Level of Difficulty | Easy
side dishes | Forget about your usual Thanksgiving green bean casserole and serve this fresh, flavorful side dish instead. Green beans are sautéed with sweet shallots and then topped with a combination of fresh parsley, lemon zest and minced garlic.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup green snap beans, fresh, trimmed
2 tsp olive oil
6 medium shallot(s), peeled and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)

2 1/2 tsp lemon zest

Meanwhile, to make gremolata, combine parsley, lemon zest and garlic in a small bowl.
Add green beans to skillet; toss over medium heat until heated through. Season with salt and pepper; toss to mix and coat.
Place green beans in a serving bowl or platter and sprinkle with gremolata. Yields about 1 cup of green beans and 1 teaspoon of gremolata per serving.
