Too salty. Next time I will use less salt.

Looks nice and simple and tasty, probably good to use basil or mint or whatever herb is plentiful. I noticed a reviewer said it was too salty, but there is no mention of using any specific amount of it; it is up to the cook to decide, and is user error if it is too salty….that is my point. In the video, Mary Ann barely puts any salt in there, maybe a 1/4 tsp? Taste as you go is the rule. I have lots of frozen green beans from our summer garden, will make this one soon.

Thanks for the wonderful recipe, it was very helpful. I found this to be a great college lunch. Since I am a student, I don’t have much time to cook, because you need to do a lot of everything. But recently, learning has become easier thanks to judge danforth quotes this educational platform. so that I can learn to cook again according to your recipes!
