How to Make Salsa Green Beans

  1. Wash and trim 1 pound of green beans.
  2. Cook green beans in a pot of salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Drain well and set aside.
  3. While beans cook, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
  4. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  6. Add the cooked green beans to the skillet and toss gently to coat them evenly with the salsa mixture.
  7. Serve immediately as a delicious and healthy side dish.
