Featured Recipe: Hazelnut Raisin Green Bean Sauté

Veggies, while a crucial part of a healthy diet, get a bad rap for being boring and lacking flavor. But when prepared the right way, they can be quite the opposite. The crunch of hazelnuts and the sweet chewiness of raisins bring awesome texture and flavor to this unique green bean and carrot side dish.

Tip: While the flavor and appearance of this dish was spot on, it was somewhat difficult to get all the different ingredients on the fork at the same time. So we recommend cutting the green beans down into bite size pieces!
