This tasty burger is great for those who are trying to cut back on their meat intake. The sautéed vegetables give it a low fat twist. For something a little different try a couple of fresh basil leaves on each sandwich instead of the lettuce leaves. You can also make a great sauce by mixing together 1/4 C of mayonnaise and 1/2 tsp of horseradish together and spreading it on the buns instead of the mustard.

greenbeans

What You Need:

1 lb. fresh green beans, trimmed
2 tsp whole grain mustard
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

How to Make It:

Fill a pot two thirds full of water and place the pot over high heat.

These beans have a nice tangy bite thanks to the whole grain mustard. Whole grain mustard is derived from the actual mustard seeds that haven’t been ground but have had some seasoning added to them. Most grocery stores sell whole grain mustard in their spice section. Liven up your beans a little more by adding onion, crumbled bacon or ham chunks.
