Remember that yummy green bean casserole with the fried onions on top? It was creamy and delicious, but typically very unhealthy.
				 
Thanks to a healthy makeover, you can enjoy this classic dish and the bounty of green bean season. Remember veggies are always the least expensive and most nutrient-rich during the peak of their season. Check your local farmers markets for seasonal deals.
