Happy St. Patrick's Day! In honor of the holiday serve up some green cuisine. (But remember our all-important rule: It has to have started out green.) Think green foods like lettuce, asparagus, or these delicious sauteed string beans from Entertaining Simple.

Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped into 1-inch pieces
½ cup chicken broth
¼ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Stir in the green beans. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes more. Add the chicken broth; bring to boiling over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the skillet and cook until the beans are tender, 5 to 7 minutes more. Season with the garlic salt and pepper.
