Salsa Green Beans

This easy and tasty recipe is a great way to use vine-ripened tomatoes, green beans, and a bit of salsa. I didn't have fresh green beans so I used frozen with great success. We enjoyed the combination of green beans, tomatoes and salsa with Lime Broiled Cod for a Mexican inspired meal. I will post the cod recipe at a later date. Blessings...

Recipe:

4 cups fresh or frozen cut green beans
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup butter
3 medium tomatoes, cut into small wedges
2 tbsp. salsa
1 garlic clove, minced or 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. salt

1. In a saucepan, cover beans with water; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender.
2. Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute onions in butter until tender.
3. Drain beans. Add the tomatoes, salsa, garlic, salt and onions; heat through.

Yield: 6-8 servings
