Health and fertility benefits of Green Bean Salad

One tbsp of honey has a glycemic index (GI) of 55. Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.

2 lb. green beans, trimmed
kosher salt

1/2 c. cilantro, chopped
