Fresh Green Beans with Sea Salt
Sea salt takes this simple green bean recipe from ordinary to extrao
Fresh green beans are tossed with olive oil and sea salt in this flavorful side dish.
This is one of the simplest fresh green bean recipes you'll ever make. It's also one of the tastiest, thanks to Maldon sea salt, a delicate artisan sea salt that won rave reviews in a Slate Magazine article a few years ago.
You can find Maldon salt (approximately $5-$7 a box) at high-end food stores like Williams-Sonoma or online at Saltworks.
Green beans are an excellent source of fiber, riboflavin, folate, magnesium, potassium, manganese, Vitamin C and Vitamin K.
