Are you busy looking for quick and easy side dishes for family gatherings? Here is a tasty and healthy one from Cooking Light. In fact, it’s listed named “Best Vegetable Side Dish” in their 20th anniversary issue. I prefer to garnish it with a little fresh orange or lemon zest and plenty of fresh cracked black pepper.
Enjoy!
