Tangy Green Beans
Feta cheese adds flavor and walnuts add a toasty crunch to this irresistible green-bean side dish.

• 3/4 pound fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2-1/4 cups)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese or 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese cut into 1/2-inch cubes

In a microwave-safe baking dish or casserole, combine green beans and water. Cover and microcook on 100% power (high) for 12 to 14 minutes or till just tender, stirring once after 6 minutes. Drain off water. Cover; keep warm.

In another baking dish, microcook walnuts in butter or margarine on high for 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 minutes or till butter is bubbly and just beginning to brown, stirring after 1 minute.
