Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The green beans were cooked well, but the lime and mint flavor was a bit too strong for my taste.

I found that the green beans were a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

These green beans were a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred less lime juice.
