Green Bean "Salad"

This comes from Better Homes & Gardens. I liked having a different way to prepare beans and thought it was pretty good.

1 med. sweet onion, sliced
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 lb. green beans, trimmed
1 tsp. snipped fresh rosemary
1 clove garlic, minced
2 peaches or nectarines
1 Tbsp. lime juice

In a skillet cook onions in hot oil over medium heat for 5 minutes or just until beginning to soften. Add green beans, rosemary, garlic and a pinch of salt. Cover and cook for 10 minutes more or ntil beans are crisp-tender. Remove from heat and toss in peach slices and lime juice. Serve hot or cold.

The recipe also suggested serving this with melons, plums or other fruit in place of peaches.

Suggestion #2 was to add white beans and pasta to make this more of a main dish.
