Recipe: Zesty Steamed Carrots and Red Potatoes

Zesty Steamed Carrots and Red Potatoes

2 tbsp green onion, chopped
2 tbsp parsley, chopped
1 tbsp margarine, melted
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt (optional), and pepper to taste

Place a steamer rack in a 4-quart saucepan over 1 inch water (water should not touch bottom of rack). Bring water to boil.
