It’s always good to have another easy side dish. This is both easy and good.

1 pound green beans, ends trimmed
1 tablespoon margarine, melted
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup toasted walnuts

Fill a medium pot with 1 in. water, insert a steamer basket, and bring to a boil, covered. Put beans in steamer and cover. Steam until bright green and tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain. Alternatively, cook covered in the microwave for 3 minutes on high.

Put beans on a serving plate. Drizzle with margarine and lemon juice. Sprinkle with zest, salt, and walnuts
