Green (with Envy) Beans

IMG_9456

I was so excited about this new box I just couldn’t wait, so tonight I bring you a super easy lemon herb sauce that would probably be good on just about your whole food box, maybe minus the fruits, but hey if you’re into that knock yourself out. Tonight we made quinoa and lentils with salmon, but the star was our beautiful green beans in a lemon herb sauce, so that’s my recipe for you tonight. However, quinoa and lentils are both fantastic sources of protein and vitamins. Lentils, I’ve heard, are also one of the most cost effective product you can buy in the grocery store because you can get a whole bag for practically nothing. Can’t say the same about quinoa, but it’s still super healthy, and really great if you can’t eat a lot of grains or sides like bulgar, farro, or couscous because of gluten. This sauce was great on our oven-cooked salmon, but would also be great on chicken, or any other fish. We put half on the green beans and half on the protein.
