The Mean Green

We found this recipe in a cookbook we checked out together from the library- we practiced your colors AND ate our veggies that day!

1 C. fresh green beans, cut into 1' pieces
1 1/2 C. fresh broccolini
1 1/2 C. fresh peas
3 C. assorted fresh greens; baby spinach, arugula, watercress, etc.
2 T. white wine vinegar
2 T. olive oil
1 T. lemon juice
1 tsp. honey
1 tsp. pesto

Cover green beans with water in large saucepan. Boil for 2 minutes.
Add broccolini and peas, simmer for 3 minutes.
Drain.

In small bowl, mix together vinegar, oil, lemon, honey, and pesto.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Pour over green veggie mixture, and serve immediately.
