Made this along side blackened tilapia for my boyfriend and he loved it!!! It was very easy and quick and I found all the ingredients and the local farmers market. Fresh veggies are the best for this recipe.

the flavors just melded together, I added a little fresh mozzarella. I'm not a big green bean fan but I ate all of them.
