1 tablespoon mild honey
3⁄4 teaspoon lemon zest
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Cook beans in a 4-quart pot of boiling salted water until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately toss with honey, zest, and salt in a large bowl.

Comments
This recipe is from Epicurious.com. I’ve never had wax beans before and these were delicious. The flavor of the beans is similar to green beans, but slightly milder. The lemon zest added a fantastic aroma and the honey gave a nice bit of sweetness. Art is a lover of beans and declared this to be awesome. Lance is not a lover of beans but he had seconds. I’d say this was a success!
