We love Mediterranean food and Greek salad is one of our favorite dishes. It is just so colorful, delicious and flavorful, it makes eating a plate full of healthy goodness easy to do, even for those who normally don’t like to eat vegetables. Many Greek salads are made with lettuce, but by replacing the leafy greens with more substantial peppers, this dish has a longer shelf life and lasts for several days in the fridge, making it a great choice to pack in lunches for work, school, or even a family picnic. We hope you try this dish enjoy it just as much as we do!

Neapolitan Green Beans

Using summer's best veggies, our Neapolitan Green Beans are enhanced with garlic, tomatoes and basil.

Summer is the perfect time to make fresh homegrown veggies. A perfect complement to nearly any meal, a medley of garlic, tomatoes and basil enhance our slow-cooked green beans, infusing them with succulent flavor.

PREP: 15 minutes
COOK: 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 medium tomato, cored and torn into pieces
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large sprig fresh basil

DIRECTIONS

  1. Rinse and drain green beans. Place beans in medium saucepan while still slightly wet. Add garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, tomato and oil. Cover, cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until beans are soft, about 15 minutes.
  2. Add basil sprig; cook, uncovered, stirring constantly, until most of the juices have evaporated, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a serving bowl. Discard basil sprig before serving.

YIELDS: 6 servings
